Been wanting to try this one for quite awhile. Finally made time for it yesterday. Picked up a couple of pork bellies and mixed up some cure. Let them ride in the refrigerator for 14 days, flipping them over every day or so. Put them on the Bull early yesterday morning with just a smoke tube for a couple of hours. Then I used the temperature offset to keep the heat as low as I could (the cold temperatures helped out a lot). I let them go until they hit 150*, let them cool down and then put them in the refrigerator overnight. Took longer than I expected to get to temp, but none of the fat was rendering the way I was going so I did not want to rush it as the day went on. Got up this morning and sliced it up. If it tastes half as good as it smells I’m in for a real treat. A pound of homemade bacon will make a great Christmas gift as well!!

A lil smoked backstrap stuffed with cream cheese, sausage, onions, scallions, jalepenos and a lil truffle oil wrapped in bacon. Actually a very large backstrap off a very large deer 😂

That looks fantastic! And congratulations on the big deer. It was a really tough season in my neck of the woods. I put in a lot of time in the stand and wasn’t seeing anything. I finally got one, but it was nothing to write home about. In the end I have sausage in the freezer so I guess it worked out.
 
Have a butt ham bone in currently in the smoker, gonna glaze with a grape and habenro peach jelly with some horseradish sauce, it will be warmed up in the smoker and put on once ham hits about 150 internal. I will post a pic once it's finished......got that ham for less than $6!!!!

When you can’t find your MEATER wireless probes from the move and you have a 5-rib roast ready for the oven (major weather issues for the grill, rain and tornado warning) you go old school!
Stay safe @Greg Jones and I am sure it will be great. As Matt say’s maybe not as fun in the oven but hey, so! 🙂

Ain’t movin’ fun, @Greg Jones? Nearly a year after our move, I’m still looking for things. That said, there’s nothing wrong with using ”old school” wired probes as long as you’re not doing rotisserie. I still use my TW Square Dot and Signals units for many of my cooks.

I bought a new Brother label maker yesterday because i couldn’t wait on ‘finding’ the old one any longer. Guess what showed up today! My biggest challenge is that SO MUCH STUFF of mine stayed behind for the auction. All of my 1,400 sq. ft woodworking shop tools, some antiques, and some household furniture , garden tools, and other items. I’m never sure what is something that will turn up eventually, or what stayed behind intentionally for the auction.

Heck I am now 7 year in and we are still finding stuff, sux.

I so get it, truly!

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about, @Greg Jones . We also had an auction company come in and sell off my woodworking and metalworking shop—broke my heart, but had to be done—along with “excess” household goods. Like you, I’m not sure exactly what was included in the EXCESS category.

I’m chuckling about you buying a replacement Brother label maker only to find the old one. I recently did the same thing, only to find the one from the old house, and the other one I had in the motorhome we just sold. Now, I have a label maker, a backup label maker and a backup for the backup. :ROFLMAO:
