The bacon project i have been chronicling here for the last two weeks wrapped up today with the slicing and packaging. We came out with about 7 lbs out of 8 lbs of belly going in, ate about a half lb on some breakfast sandwiches. Really good, though the smoke is still kind of sharp - it will mellow as it rests i am sure. It feels good to have a stockpile of bacon! Half of this goes to my son, but I still have plenty.
I am hooked. Have two more 3 lb bellys in the freezer, will start curing next weekend

Chefs choice 615. The carriage is not long enough to do full length slices, so I had to cut in half which does not bother me. Also I have to flip the belly about every 3rd pass to keep from getting a big "tail". I am not complaining though.XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

The smoke will mellow some. I only got five or so hours on my last batch. First test was heavy, at the end I thought it could have used a bit more.
