• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

This is the loin just put in the smoker. I used pecan wood for a lite smoke. Smoker temp was at 200 degrees.cooked until meat hit a temp of 140 degrees or about 3 1/2 hours.

This was my first time makeing bacon. It was not hard at all and the results were great. If you have never made it before give it a try you will be happy you did.

I will post some pictures of the butts when they get done to.
 
I'm going to have to get one of those food savers.
It all looks real good.

Hey thanks Joe,
I finally got the picture thing worked out to. Your wright Photo Bucket is the only way to go.
 
Wow that looks good.

I have always been a suck the air out of the zip lock guy but those food saver packages sure look nice.

Thanks for the farkin nice pics!!!
 
That does look good. how did the pork butts turn out? I had me a buckboard bacon/egg/ pepper jack cheese samwich for breakfast this morning!
 
Looks great! I like the bacon made with either cut of meat...my wife isn't all that crazy about it...SOOOOO I don't make it too often.

The vacuum packing is a great idea...it'll definately extend the freezer or meat drawer life.

Good job!

Hey Kirk for some reason I always thought it would be harder to do. If I only new how easy it was I would have done it a lot sooner.

That's it!!!! I am making some today. I eat WAYYYYYYYY too much regular bacon, about 2 lbs aweek, so that Canadian Bacon is what I really want and need.
Thanks Very Much!!!! Good Job!!

From what I've seen coming out of your eatery, I don't think leftovers are one of your problems!!
