Cold smoking bacon with my simple cold smoker
So I cured my first bacon and now its time to cold smoke it. I'm using expanded metal thats bent so I could lay out some hickory pellets and light one end with a torch. Its been smoking since 9am. Not sure how long I will be smoking it so comments are welcome.

Thanks. I got the idea after seeing the a-maze-n pellet smoker.

Here it is after about 6 or 7 hours of cold smoke.
Its in the freezer chilling before I slice it. I used hickory pellets this time. Next time I will use cherry or apple with the chips, coffee can, and solder pen method. I bet the apple or cherry wood will be even better. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The first time I did bacon on my WSM I used a 1 pound coffee can with a few partially lit briqs and a few chips of wood every few hours. It took 7 in total.

Well, here it is. I sliced it all up in shorter slices. I cooked some up and tried it....I may never buy grocery store bacon again!! This stuff is amazing. It doesn't curl up like the water cured stuff from the store either. It tastes great, though next time, I will add some cayenne pepper too. I was worried it would be a little too salty but actually ended up less salty than normal bacon, which I like. Thanks for looking :D
