MalcolmG Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi Folks - just joined Forum. I have always been very interested in smoking food but never knew where to start. Then, last year I visited the Brogdale National Apple Festival and met Wade. Saw his smoking demo and the “incinerator” smoker. I have now had a go at smoking bacon using Wades “dry cure bacon kit” which has excellent detailed instructions. Great result. Got my neighbours to do a taste test and they loved it !!. I was surprised how warm the smoker was inside. I placed the smoke unit in the bottom of the smoker and hung the pork belly over it. The bottom end almost cooked. Maybe I should use an offset box and channel the smoke through some ducting ? I have seen a thread on the forum about this. I smoked it for 12 hours as I thought any longer and it would cook !! Used the A-maze-n smoker maze with hickory pellets from Woodchurch. Wade has helped me enormously with his advice. Lots more to learn and looking forward to doing some more smoking. I must say this forum is excellent and as a beginner I kow it’s going to be a great help to me. Thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi Malcolm and welcome to the forum. The photos you sent me were very good - could you please start a new thread and post them up for others to see My bacon making kits are designed to get people started in the simplest way - without any fuss and remaining totally safe. Once you have used a kit is will give you the confidence to tweak the method to tailor it to your own taste. I recommend keeping it simple to begin with - using a simple lemon pepper flavouring - so that you know what bacon should taste like. Once you have made that you will have confidence in the method and can experiment. Over the years I have tried many of the different flavours for the bacon but I always come back to the standard recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
