Bacon on BGE
Here is my first go at Bacon on the BGE. I got it as a gift from my amazing girlfriend.
I started with 10lbs of fresh pork bellies IMG_6025.jpg IMG_6031.jpg I rubbed in a mixture: 2 part kosher salt and 1 part brilliant yellow sugar. Then i gave it a good massage for a few minutes. IMG_6033.jpg Packed it in big ziplock bags and put it in the fridge. IMG_6038.jpg I let one section sit in there for 5 days. I took it out today. I washed it off in luke warm running water for a few minutes. Then i dried it with paper towel and it is sitting in the fridge. IMG_6065.jpg I am going to leave it in there until my brisket is done and then smoke it with apple chips.As for the rest of it...I am going to do the 3 different cuts differently. I am going to wait a couple more days to take the other ones out of the bags. And i am going to let them hang dry in the fridge for different times (8 hrs and 16 hrs) respectively. I will let you know what one is best, in my opinion.

Off the Egg _Pron
So here it is before the skin is off. It is cooling right now. Cooked at 200-225 for 5 hours. Ended up a little over 150f.
IMG_6080.jpg I am still trying to get a slicer off CL. In the meantime i am going to remove the skin and let it cool over night to slice tomorrow... Does anyone know a good way to use the skin? IMG_6085.jpg

I smoked it for about 5 hours.
I had a brisket on the grill before it so i was sure that it was all just charcoal smoke. Tonight i am doing one with additional smoking chips. I am thinking apple.
