Homemade Bacon [Cooking]

2007 Aug 10
I came across this great blog entry on curing and smoking your own bacon: www.bsbrewing.com/blog/?p=261

It's entertaining, informative, and lustworthy (for bacon lovers of course). Zymurgist, this sounds like a project for you! ;-)

Yeah, a buddy sent that to me and it's definitely of interest - especially where I already have a local source for pork. I have a bunch of pre-sliced but non-smoked bacon cuts in the freezer already. I once tried smoking them and they came out "OK" but not fantastic. I think if I were to brine them first I could get much better results. But ultimately I need the uncut stuff (which I could simply request on my next order)
