That's fantastic. Now I'll always hear this version when that song is on.
Train how you intend to Fight
Remember - Training is not sparring. Sparring is not fighting. Fighting is not combat.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I do. I’ve done cold and hot smoked bacon. Love it. Hot smoked is faster. Cold smoke taste more like what I’m used to from the store.
These go to eleven.

Yes, but I make maple bacon candy.
Take a pound of bacon, throw it in a big bowl. Throw in half a dozen paper towels and soak out as much moisture as possible. Usually takes half an hour of sitting and churning with the towels to get it really dry. (Swap out paper towels if they are wet)
Take the towels out and pour some Crown Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup over the bacon. You want it wet, but not puddling syrup in the bottom of the bowl. Throw a couple pinches of fennel pollen in there and a tablespoon of Espelette chile powder. Mix well.
Lay out on the rack in the smoker and run at 180° or the lowest smoke setting you have. After about an hour and a half to two hours, baste with more maple syrup, and flip over. Baste the second side with syrup and turn up to 225° for half an hour or so.
Bacon should be stiff and crisp, but not dried out.

If you like a powerful smokey flavored bacon try these guys. This is also where I get country ham. The real stuff and not what Cracker Barrel here in Pueblo serves.
Thanks for the Bacon candy recipe! Going to try it.
Anyone willing to lay out their cold smoke process / recipe?

No comparison once you get your cure dialed in. I posted the 4 pork bellies I did over Christmas break, and they are a few others on the latest page there too.

There's a calculator for the cure on the link below. I cure for 10-14 days then let the belly hang out uncovered in the fridge overnight and smoke the next day. I cold smoked with a pellet tube full of apple pellets for around 8 hours. Some people smoke it for 24 hours or more in three sessions. makin bacon

Jeff Yarchin used to do it, don't know whether he still does.
He gave some as a karma, I think more than one time. I never won any bacon, but I did win one of his homemade sausage karmas, many years ago. It was outstanding sausage!
