I know I am!

 

Can't wait to see what you get up to with this!

[ElsieD]

@rotuts. Do the instructions say anything about smoking bacon?  I used to smoke my own bacon at the house but condo living won't allow me to do this on our balcony.  

[rotuts]

@ElsieD

 

it wiull be a few weeks before it gets unpacked.

 

kitchen needs to be finished.

 

if it can smoke anything , that would include bacon Id say off the cuff.

 

look back to @Elle Bee  's post .  it is odorless indoors.

 

items might need to be rotated , which was a concern for me initially.

 

but Ive decided to manage that.   

 

the price I got for it was fair , I cant go down to the WHIPS and use the Yoder 

 

which is the real deal .  so this might keep me in the Pellet BBQ loop

 

indoors.   BBQ  , low and slow has always been a keen interest of mihe

 

along w a few others.

I used a recipe from Michael Ruhlman & Brian Polcyn's book "Charcuterie".   It was for Maple Cured Smoked Bacon, cured for 7 days, smoked for 3 hours.

[rotuts]

@ElsieD

 

what a great idea.   I have that book .  and I like maple cured bacon.

 

I can find pork belly in Chinese markets.   might finally get into it .

 

thanks for the ideas.

[Wampa]

It has a drip tray (and came with disposable ones as well), so bacon shouldn't be an issue. I haven't found rotation to be a big problem (and when you want to rotate, it's easiest to just pull the entire shelf out and rotate that way).

[KennethT]

@rotuts Maybe you already said this and I missed it, but does this smoker do cold smoking?  Bacon is typically cold smoked, as is most charcuterie afaik.  Another possibility if that's the case is smoked salmon - if you can get King salmon (sometimes called Ora King or Akaroa) from New Zealand, it's ++++.

IIRC commercial bacon is cooked to 56C after smoking.
