Interested to hear of anyone that has mopped their bacon with a glaze while smoking.

I've added honey, ancho, chiptole in adobo to my cure...but want to make sure the flavors are there post smoke. Last time I tried this the soak diminished these flavors considerably. Could it be I didn't use enough?

I've never added anything to my bacon post-cure before...just wondering if others have...
 
All I ever add is cracked black pepper after the cure. Haven't tried mopping/glazing during the smoke, but would be interested in hearing about it as well.
 
I have two slabs of the chipotle honey cure to smoke (about 6 pounds total). I may try it with one to see. Live and learn I guess...

If it doesn't work out...I have 15 lbs more to enjoy of other bacon :lol:
