Experiment: Smoking Bacon

by **tTy** Sat Jul 09, 2016 3:10 pm

If anyone has any advice/experience, please advise. I'm, going to go ahead with my original plean this afternoon anyway but I'd appreciate any help if any of you have done this before. I bought a couple pounds of pork belly that I've been curing for 10 days. Sliced it up, nice and thick, and today I'm going to attempt to "cold" smoke it on my grill. It won't actually be "cold", I plan on building some heat deflectors out of heavy duty foil and use only one burner on the lowest setting with wood chips in an aluminum container immediately above the heat source. Other than that, I'm shooting from the hip and just seeing what happens.

Good luck. I feel like if anyone ever had success doing this they'd put some video on youtube or something.

I've never smoked any meats. Can not help.

You use a gas grill?

Isn't a grill going to be too hot for smoking bacon even with the heat deflecters? Most of the fat is going to cook off and you'll end up with jerky. Seems like you'd need something a lot cooler to smoke it in.

Indirect heat plus aluminum heat barrier plus wood chips in the proper spot = worked like a charm. Thanks for nothing again, Swill. Just proving, once again, that none of you are worth jack fucking shit when it comes down to it.

I just bought some pork belly futures in advance of this trend.

Feed me some home cured bacon and pat me on the head and I'll forgive you for being a dick.

LMFAO, I actually still feel bad about that. I'm still trying to piece that all together but it had something to do with someone who played line vs. Mandarich and shit. Can't remember. Some ugly white dude wearing his own rosebowl jersey....

I'm just stunned you use a gas grill.

I used the gas grill so that I could use indirect heat, put up an aluminum foil heat shield, and smolder wood chips in it. worked like a charm. I was using my webber for ribs at high heat this evening.... Delish...... Couldn't put the bacon on there Brotatochip. The bacon was cold smoked, Brofessor.....

WBH turned me on to it. Ribs @ 320-ish + 1.5 hrs naked (smoke the fuck out of them) + 1.5 hrs wrapped = done.... fucking awesome....

Smoking bacon...sounds like something that Blanch's fatty would use as a term for banging. Just saying.
