Nope, I have seen from 3 hours up to 12. I will go as long as the little amaze burns. That's about 10 to 11 hours. In 2 hours it will be 10 hours for mine. I started at 7 amJefferson .GA.Been egging since 1985 on a medium egg

Fill the a maze n smoker all the way up and let her go till it burns all the way out. Does this sound right Cen-Tex? I have oak, hickory, maple, and cherry pellets. I was thinking about a hickory and cherry mix. What do ya think?Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I just pulled my pork belly from the cure. Long story, but I had an unexpected work trip so my bacon cured for 11 days and only could flip it a few times. To compound the problem, my foodsaver bags did not seal correctly, so I had some leakage. I dont think this is a deal breaker, but I need some help because one of the slabs of belly has brownish patches. They other three are nice and red all over. Nothing smells rotten, but should I go ahead and ditch the brown slab before cold smoking?I tried taking some pics but it was hard to capture the difference in color, but it is very obvious when I pulled it from the cure.Columbus, OH

I bet that brownish part is on the end where the cure soaked in. Bet you can cut back a1/4 of an inch and it will be the lighter color. 11 days is a not a deal breaker. It probably is a bit more salty and you may need to soak for a hour. Slice off a piece after you cut the end back a 1/4 inch.Most likely OK.
