Bacon on BGE

I've never done bacon...yet....but was always under the impression that you needed sodium nitrite ( or morton's tenderquick, Cure #1, pink salt etc) in order to "cure" bacon or any other meat. Not sure if just salt will "properly" cure it. When I make smoked sausage, I always add "pink salt" especially since i'm smoking at lower temps. just saying......

Looks great! I had to look up Brilliant Yellow Sugar...had never heard it called that before. Guess I'm too much of a Yank!:lol:

Agreed. I didn't see any kind of a cure in the orignal recipe. Salt by itself won't do the trick.
