I was headed to class tonight when I got pulled into the Costco parking lot and the pork belly gods told me to buy and make some bacon. So I just couldn’t deny the request so I picked up this. I’m thinking 6 slabs of bacon and bacon burnt ends for the remaining section.

Finished and threw them in the refrigerator. The wait period begins.

Half way through the process. Sunday can’t come quick enough. The waiting is so hard. Four kinds here all 5 pounds each: A salute to Texas with a peppery jalapeño, a Michael Simon version, the pork belly burnt end with sucklebusters favoring and the Michael Ruhlman version.

I checked my bacon tonight and they were firm enough so I pulled, washed and racked each of them. The cook begins tomorrow.

I hope so. When I laid it out in the smoker about 30 minutes ago. I found I could have fit another 20 pounds worth. Maybe next time...

Just pulled everything off minus the burnt ends. Wrapped them for the 1 1/2 hr cook. I did try a few prior and boy I get it now.
