markie_q Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 How long can you store bacon in fridge sliced and unsliced? What's the longest you can leave between smoking sessions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I believe do not smoke sliced. Smoke then slice off what you need. It will last longer unsliced. Personally I slice after smoke and vacc pac portions and freeze. It defrosts real quick. And the flavour is the same. In fact my fridge is full of bacon at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This I from a post from @Wade “A bit of general info - Dry cure bacon will last up to 6 weeks when kept as a lump (I.e. unsliced), vac packed and in the fridge. Once you slice the bacon it should be used within a week - unless it is then frozen” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the longest you can leave between smoking sessions? Typically you will smoke the meat almost as soon as it has finished curing. Once cured though the shelf life counter will begin to tick. With the cooler temperatures this time of year (<8 C) you can happily smoke for 24+ hours in one go. When the weather warms up then you are best to smoke overnight when it is cooler and refrigerate during the day. This can be done over 3 or 4 nights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie_q Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the info. I have a smoked batch from when I trimmed my fingers. It's been vac packed as a smoked joint since 19/12. I've tasted some and or could do with being a little smokier. It's it too late to smoke again? It still tastes nice, so not bothered if I can't.
