Twice Smoked Bacon

[Wise Old Owl]

Folks some have tried, others are mystified.

Twice smoked is almost cooked already and is less moist and cooks way too fast.

Amish produced and others can copy... For us BBQ folks it's to die for.

For those that are UL this bacon packs light, needs less fuel, and keeps unrefrigerated for a week as it avoids mold.

I raise pigs (on a very small-scale), and require that all bacon produced from my hogs is double-smoked. It is the only way to go.

does that keep unrefrigerated for a week in the summer?

I belive so --- got that out of the army survival manuals. At the end of the week you can wash it off to get the mold off and fry it up and still eat it.

Hmm. I have a smoker. You can make this at home?!?

[Wise Old Owl]

Yes but not worth the effort. Double Smoked is the same price as Oscar Myer.

Just occurred to me my smoker can't do cold-smoking, so there's another strike against home-made. I'd have to mail order, though. Tallahassee thinks pepper grinders are exotic! :p
