I smoked some bacon

Kim started a bacon and pancetta cure last week. However our Icemageddon event has caused him to be at work since Sunday. So with some emailed instruction I smoked bacon and hung the pancetta. Here are my pics...
the pancetta hung
The bacon smoking/smoked
Kim uses a 1 pound coffee can. I put Ono lump and apple wood in the can. I smoked it at 180 for 6 hours until it hit 150. Kim will slice it tomorrow night.
Here is the lump left after 6 hours...
and yes we had 5" of snow and lots & lots of ice...

Thanks Molly...and I wondered how long it would take until someone noticed the hangman's noose. The pancetta will hang for 2 weeks...I hope it turns out.
