I agree Keith, I just hope the habs don't make it inedible...lol. I was being creative, gonna be interesting.

This Zeeker bacon.. ;) looks like it is going to be yummy, I can't wait to see how it comes out!! especially the lemon with the habs... I hate the wait!!!!

well i got 7 days cure time on these loins, so I rinsed em off and their soaking for bout 3 hours, before I let em rest in the fridge fer the night. Plan on smokin em tomorrow sometime. My choice of wood this time round will be apple and maple. Gonna glaze em, just not sure what I wanna use yet.

Rinsed...

Ab freeking spectacular Roadrunr. Can't wait to see how this turns out Bud. And thanks for the name sake. I do like mine rolled in corn meal (Traditional in the great white north), but non the less all the best on this bacon frenzy. Should last you about 1 day (Trust me) not easy to stop once the bug hits. Again looking forward to the finished product. Oh a mandatory give'em for this one is in order...

Yeah Man....this has potential for my happy a$$! Lookin to see the end!

[Texas-Hunter]

I'm still amazed how deep of a red color they are.. I bet they will be good too!

[roadrunr]

I think the camera is making them look more red, they're actaually a nice deep brown. I cheated and sliced off a few pieces tonight and fried em up cuz my son wanted some. I sliced the basic seasoned one. Here's a pic. Beautiful pink inside, deep brown outside and tasty as all hell...I'll take more pics in the a.m. when I slice em all up.
