  • 25 LBS. of Belly Bacon W/Qview

    All this talk about bacon I figured I needed to make some. I bought 2 skinless bellies from Super H Mart, it's a Korean grocery store, they've got stuff in there I never even heard of,...including Durian fruit ( that stinky fruit).

    On the counter in the cyrovac:


    In the meat lug with the Morton's sugar cure & brown sugar:


    After 10 days, washed and soaked for 1 hour and into the smoke house:



    After drying for 1-2 hours at 110F, I started the smoke using Hickory sawdust. My smoker is in my garage, and I have it vented out the side:


    After about 14 hours at 135F, they were at 128F internally:



    After a overnight rest in the fridge, I took them out to slice:


    Cut in half to fit on my slicer:



    Started to slice some, and did a fry test, Man-O Man is it good!!:




    What I got from 1/2 a belly:


    Hope you enjoyed my Qview as much as I'm going to enjoy this bacon

                      I think I posted about the smoker when I signed up on the site...but I've slept since then..
                      I made the smoker out of a Traulsen hot box, I guess that is what it is called, it is used to keep hot food hot. I bought it for $150 dollars delivered, then added the sawdust burner, vent, variable speed exhaust fan and t-stat. I was in this guys field that sells restaurant equipment, so it took some cleaning up, but for that price well worth it. It already had 4 550 watt strip heaters that were working.
