Finished a bit of bacon last night. Rigged a new cold smoker box. Ice in the bottom of the cooler, metal skewers to support the pans holding the bacon, and the small egg generating smoke. One chunk of Apple made smoke for hours.

@blind99 -  very creative.  I'm sure it will serve the desired purpose quite well. Most eggcellent.

I was impressed at the dynamic range of it. You can really recover highlights and bring out shadows. Lighting on the deck in the evening is terrible so I think it did very well.

@blind99 pretty intricate setup.  Curious to know your results.

@lousubcap @tarheelmatt The bacon was delicious even without the smoke.  It's definitely the nicest piece of belly I've gotten from Costco.  I smoked for about 2 hours, and the final flavor was very good.  A larger cooler would have been better.  Other problem was the internal temp of the cooler wasn't particularly cold - about 80 degrees, even with ice in the bottom and the pieces of belly chilled before going in.  But the setup served its purpose and cost all of about 5$.

A repurposed small wine refrigerator may be ideal for this.

Just place a large order with SRF and use their cooler. #winning

Packing my suitcase and the car.  Heading to Florida with my girls tomorrow!   A much needed and overdue vacation.

Where to?  Have fun!  The craft beer scene in Florida is terrible! 

New Smyrna Beach. It's just north of Cape Canaveral.  Yeah, it's pretty slim Pickens for craft beer.

Looks like you need it. Your grass is non existent.

Nice!  Then I think I could deal with the smaller space then.  Hope to see the whole place maybe?  Looks like an awesome setup buddy.  So glad you're where you want too.

Just grabbed some Blues Hog sauces from
World Market.  Been wanting to try them forever now, but have never seen them in any store.  World Market is full of surprises sometimes!  Also grabbed a jar of the Ole Smoky Hot Bbq Sauce.

The wife dragged me window shopping at World Market for a rug for the new place. I was able to run away from her though and went to the food section. Packing has commenced tonight though.

Listening to a wonderful downpour, which we badly needed, after this morning's "0% chance of rain" taxpayer-fed forecast.

Currently watching the Olympic opening ceremony and feeling like I need to take a refresher in World Geography.  There have been a few countries which seem like I've never heard of.
