  • How I Do a Bacon Weave

    Someone asked me the other day how I do my bacon weave. Since, we don't have a step by step of this here yet I figured I'd get mine on here. I saw one once before doing it right on the fattie, but I've found that that is much more labor intensive.
    Since Capt Dan's "help on rolling a fatty" thread http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=318 is the way I do mine, this flows right in on that process.

    I start off with 2 pieces of bacon like this, on syran wrap of course.


    Than I will lay out the bacon lengthwise but will be picking them up each step of the way.

    like this


    than it's just a matter of taking turns on the rows...












    and the finished weave sitting back waiting for the fatty to come take a sit.


    Here is where I find that doing the weave on the syran wrap is better than doing it right on the fatty. If you follow Capt Dan's method, it allows the bacon to also tighten around the fatty. Holding it together much nicer for them fatties that you end up over stuffing.

    I'll lay the fatty down in the middle of the weave


    Flip one side up on the top


    Than the other side, than get it ready for tightening






    this is a different Weaved Fatty, but it was handy for this show.


    If you haven't done a Bacon Weave yet, ya gotta try it. This really gives your fatty the final touch for those your feeding.

    Thanks for viewing this.

            Nicely done. I like the idea of building the weave on the Saran wrap and using it to tighten the package. The first one I did on the fatty was kind of loose.

                Is that what it takes to get them from you Steve, :ballchain: show breasts being un-covered by bacon? lol I'll have to stick to them covered, not so sure Ken would go for that, might be a bit to far.


                Thanks everyone for the compliments, the weave does add a really nice flair to the fatty.
