My first BACON explosion that is. Got the recipe from here http://blog.bbqaddicts.com/recipes/bacon-explosion/
Started with 1 pound of Jimmy Dean original and put it in a gallon ziploc and pushed it out into an even layer. After it looked as even as possible I put it in the fridge for about 45...
My buddy and I were planning on a guy's night last night since our ladies had plans and we figured since neither one of us had attempted fatties yet (and b/c we read about them so much on this forum) we figured we might as well try em' out. We tried 4 variations:

Well, the redeeming meal is in the smoker. Went with the honey-brined recipe posted recently (cut WAY back on the salt since it was, unfortunately, enhanced). Went with a wet rub made of thyme and sage.
Here's the opening pics. There will be one quick pic at a later spritz.
Have a bacon...
