Hi folks-
I’ve got a Bradley smoker. And have smoked a few batches of bacon. Wet brine, dry brine, and a few different recipes of each. Just got them off the Web. But nothing really has me impressed. I did recently get the cold smoker attachment, and trying to find a good cold smoked bacon recipe.
Anyone willing to offer such?
Now’s the time of the year to do it. While it’s still chilly outside.
I like Ruhlman’s cure. Nice and balanced. Makes bacon, ham- but it’s a dry cure with a flip once a day for 5-7 days’
Once cured and in the smoker first day do a really short heavy cold smoke then follow up with light smoke once a day for a week. Or you can do a heavy hot smoke until an internal temp of 165 and cool the bacon with a hose or a bath, which will also mellow things a bit.
