Follow-up Q&A video from Ron: • Making Bacon Part Two
BACON RECIPE
For each 5-8lbs meat, pork shoulder or belly.
2/3 cups Morton’s kosher salt
½ cup each granulated white, and packed light brown sugar
2 TBS molasses- not blackstrap
8 + TBS real maple syrup, grade B
2 TBS cracked black pepper
1 tsp/5lbs meat of cure # 1(AKA Prauge powder #1, pink curing salt, or 6.25% sodium nitrite.) Use enough.
Whole boneless Pork butt (shoulder) or pork belly.
Mix all dry ingredients except black pepper in large mixing bowl, quantities based on weight of meet. You may not use it all, but you can save the left over for you next batch!
Mix about 2 TBS molasses with about 6 TBS maple syrup. Note: the exact volumes are not as important as the 3:1 ratio. This mixture gets rubbed onto all sides of meat. A little goes quite a ways, but it’s a pain to mix more once your hands are sticky, so make enough!
Directions for pork butt: Lay pork but on cutting boar and split lengthwise into 2 pieces about the same thickness using slit were bone was removed as your starting point. Trim any veins or gooey fat. Lightly truss looser chunks by where bone was removed with cotton string.
Rub on all sides with molasses/syrup mix to form a thin coating. Sprinkle liberally with black pepper and pat in. Generously apply the salt/sugar mix to all sides, rubbing in well. Let stand a couple minutes until the mixture is moist. Drizzle with maple syrup and pat in and rub in gently, using care not to remove too much salt mixture. Place both pieces flat inside a 2 gallon zip lock bag and refrigerate 5-7 days, turning over twice a day . Meat will feel firm to touch when done.
Remove meat from bag and rinse well under cold water scrubbing it with your hand. Don’t worry if lots of the pepper comes off. Pat dry, and allow to air dry for ½ hour. Smoke using your favorite wood (I like apple) at 150-200 degrees using indirect heat until internal temperature is 150-160 degrees. This gives you a “fully cooked” product. Refrigerate overnight and allow to cool completely before slicing.
If using a whole pork belly, remove rind (skin) and cut into 4 pieces, and proceed same as shoulder.
Slice to desired thickness.

Hi David, I’m from Montreal Canada. Jusr started smoking and your bacon recipe is the first project I tried on the smoker. It’s literally FANTASTIC! Your recipe balances the salty and sweet spot on and the end product is amazing. Thank you for sharing and you can be sure I’ll be an avid follower.

Thanks, being born and raised here in Montana, we like our bacon! I have watched several shows about making it, but you are the first about using the pork shoulder that I’ve seen. Sure is a better looking cut. I agree with using apple wood, but you might also consider chokecherry. Kind of overlooked in the smoking world. Not quite as sweet, but a real nice flavor.

Also enjoyed the smoked oyster video, and since we also have a home on Hood Canal I have smoked some of our oysters, clams, and mussels. They are fantastic!! Again thanks guys.

Can’t wait to try this bacon recipe
You guys are great! Thanks for making such a helpful video and for sharing your recipe. My wife and I just finished eating some bacon from a batch I made following your instructions. I did a shoulder roast I picked up for $1.59 lb. I brined it for 10 days, rinsed it, let it dry/rest overnight, and smoked it. It was beyond awesome and I don’t see myself ever buying bacon from the store again. I’ll keep an eye out for pork belly deals and try one when the price is right, but it’s hard to imagine it could taste any better than the shoulder roast. Thanks again!

Thanks. A first hand trial was just what I needed to hear before diving in, and those were my hopes as well, a leaner yet less expensive bacon for life.
It's nice to see another guy who has a smokehouse . 62 pounds of hams , pork shoulder and 50 pounds of elk are getting mesquite smoked as I write . When folks eat genuine smoked hams and bacon , the store bought "stuff" goes out the window . People might be amazed at how good a product can be made in a Weber grill or firepit behind their house .

@@my-back-yard We put 16 lbs in to cure this evening, tried to be faithful to you recipe other than molasses and maple syrup brands, also the wife rejected the pepper, any concerns with curing here, we were fairly certain it was just a flavor deal. I will be smoking in a Green Mountain pellet smoker/grill when ready. Gonna make me some hangers before time. QUESTION: We smoke / slow cook shoulder/butts all the time and trying to understand why no one cures those, seems like same deal since it takes hours to get to 160. Is this curing about being able to let it stand in smoker and dry without refrigeration before turning the heat on next day ??
@ronross6946
4 жыл бұрын
I'm not at all particular on brands on molasses or maple syrup, but it does need to be real maple syrup. After you rinse it and pat it dry, I really think you should hit an inch or two of both sides of a piece with a little cracked pepper just to give it a try! Keep us posted!

Noel, you are welcome. Let us know if you have any questions. I have the ability to cold smoke too, but thus far I'm not sure what the difference would be other than maybe more smoke flavor. I'm going by the definition of cold smoke as 100f or less, and hot as 100f or above.I think you will find the texture and flavor the same between the 2. Keep us posted, and don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have!

This might be tasty but diffidently not Bacon !
Thanks for the helpful video. 1) There are many no smoking needed bacon videos out there, and having both sides of the butt to work with, I'd like to try one with and one without smoking. If I follow your recipe up through rinsing the brine off, can I stop there and fry it up or would that be a bad idea? Or could I make some slight changes that will allow that, and if so what would those changes be? 2) I'm in FL, so when you air dry the bacon overnight, what is a safe maximum outdoor temperature? It's winter now so, I should be fine with the 50 to 60 deg nights, but this is also a general question for which the answer could be handy for other purposes. Thanks much.

Looks delicious 😋... one of the things I do differently is to vacuum seal them for the brining. It seems to take more of the maple syrup taste in... and, I try to keep my smoker just a little more of a cold smoke. With the cold smoke, it's going to stay in the smoker for more like 18-24hrs. Generally putting them in early in the morning and taking them out fairly late at night... like 6am &12 midnight or a little later. I've only used the belly myself, but I'm gonna try and make some out of some different places to see how well it turns out. Like your video... it's a little bit more cost wise with the vacuum bags, but I wash and reuse the bags several times so that it's not to much on the cost. I always cut my bags longer than needed & when I cut the bag open to smoke...I can use them several times for the same purpose or for whatever I may need to use them. There's a farmer friend down the road who gives me the bellies of 3-4 pigs each year and they're raised right, with no injections or grains bought... he does feed them corn for 2 weeks before killing them. I've been doing it this way for a couple of years and it seems to be working great, because they taste amazing!! I only raise one a year myself and between what I get from him and mine...makes my bacon need for a year - almost!! Also make my own sausage meat... breakfast sausage and I also hang quite a bit of sausages for dinner/different times and I have some AWESOME frikkin smoked sausage!! My cold smoking is an aggravating process because having to regulate the fire to keep the temperature down between 120-125° degrees. Keep up the good work and congratulations on your bacon... it's definitely a good looking bacon. Appreciate your sharing this...I'm going to try some different parts of the hog and see how it turns out!!

Just got feel way around the bone. Start at end where you see bone. Probably another you tube video. I have never tried injecting maple syrup, but it would probably work. Remember that when you are experimenting, do a small amount to see how you like it. You could air dry it uncovered in your refrigerator. Overnight would do it.
Good video, thanks, very informative. Only one question: is there a heater in your smoke chamber? Or does the "pot" (charcoal and wood chips) outside heat the whole chamber?

Ron, you got an exotic backyard ! Great video! All you need is a lapel mic to take care of your audio.

Tarun Das thanks. I use a HDR-PJ540 and it does pretty good with audio. We used the lapel mics in part two.
