    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=82615">DIY</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 95869<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 23 Sep 2019 at 5:13pm<br /><br />I do a fair bit of bacon, I just rub plenty of non-iodised salt into it and leave for 3 days in the fridge turning over daily and pouring off the excess liquid. I then wash off the salt and soak in cold water for 4 hours changing the water half way through. The next bit is important - dry off and leave uncovered in the fridge for a day or so before smoking. I then cold smoke with Oak for 6-8 hours. I don’t like bacon too salty so this works for me, but you can adjust this by leaving it to cure for a bit longer and soaking it less. Good luck ]]>

This will dry it out and add smoke to create bacon like the best smokey bacon ever.<br><br>At least it worked for me. Once.&nbsp;<img src="https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" alt="T&#111;ngue" title="T&#111;ngue" />&nbsp; But I'll do it again&nbsp; for sure and give you an update.<br><br>Cheers<br>]]>

Also, using pre-marinated meat helped prevent them from drying out.

Let me share this overwhelming amount of images from preparation to finish in that way it will be self-explanatory<div><br></div><div>&nbsp;<img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-10-55-42.png" height="1138" width="1914" border="0" /></div><div><br></div><div>The two rubs on the left are my favourite. I applied 50/50 of each. You can find these rubs in BBQ &amp; More. I've also seen them in Farro.</div><div><div><br></div><div><img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-10-57-35.png" height="1137" width="1915" border="0" /></div><div><br></div><div>Initially I tried using non-marinated pork steaks but they always ended up being too dry. Then I tried with the pre-marinated ones which you can purchase from New World, and they come out really moist after smoking.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-10-58-41.png" height="1138" width="1917" border="0" />&nbsp;<img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-11-01-59.png" height="1138" width="1919" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div>Apply generous amount of the rubs (refer to 1st picture for the rubs)</div><div>&nbsp;<img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-11-03-29.png" height="1138" width="1915" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div>Add a generous amount of maple syrup on top of the rub. Then let it cure for at least 3 days. Good idea to keep tossing them around over the 3 days for even coating</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-11-10-22.png" height="1138" width="1913" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div><div>Bring the temperature in the smoker up to 225 deg Fahrenheit (my smoker is American hence not in celsius ! Its approx 108 celsius). Don't second guess, so use the temperature probe to monitor the temperature. You want to maintain the temperature to be consistently at around 225 deg</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-10-14-07.png" height="1139" width="1915" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-11-11-19.png" height="1138" width="713" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div>The cooking time is around 2 hours but can take longer, depending on how often you open the smoker lid as the temperature will drop each time you do that.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-12-08-27.png" height="1132" width="1197" border="0" /></div><div><br></div><div>Keeping the meat moist is the important part of the cooking process. I use apple juice in a spray bottle to keep the meat moist, about 1 litre to 20 steak is about the right amount over the 2 hour period. I douse the meat approximately every 15 minute. Every time you do that, the temperature drops between 3 to 5 deg celsius. So you'll need to account for that when you're cooking so you don't overcook. I take the steaks out of the smoker as soon the temperature of the steaks reach between 61 to 63 celsius</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-12-10-12.png" height="1136" width="920" border="0" /></div><div><br></div><div>Vacuum packed &amp; refrigate it ! It keeps forever but doesn't last very long in my household&nbsp;<img src="https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><img src="uploads/96046/Screen-Shot-2019-09-20-at-12-43-39.png" height="1138" width="1029" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Nuke in the microwave (still in vacuum pack) to optimal temperature before serving... I like it on my sandwich with fresh crunchy lettuce and a healthy dose of Japanese mayonnaise... &nbsp;Quick and easy, and great for my fishing trips.... Let me know how yours turn out and how you serve them as an ultimate product lol</div><div>&nbsp;</div></div></div>]]>
