Hello from Ohio
-
I am a lifetime BBQ afficionado, but recently got into making my own craft quality cured meats. I hunt with a bow and buy other meat from a local trad butcher. In November I built my first smokehouse and started making bacon. I now have 3 kinds of bacon in the fridge: Canadian, Belly, and Jowl. I smoke pork with a mix of oak, hickory, maple, mesquite, and apple woods. My smokehouse can do hot or cold smoking, so I do cold for bacon and ham and cured stuff, and I hot smoked an orange brined duck for chrismas. When I figure out how to post pics, I will show you. I tend to make my own recipes according to my own tastes.

I’m glad to be here. From the looks of it this is a drama free zone. I’m used to the facebook clusterfudge that are recipe groups.
I really love the pluck. My grandma is the only one that knows I make tacos out of beef heart. You grind up the offal and nobody knows it is there. My sister is really picky. If she knew I was bringing innards to family gatherings, she wouldn’t eat it. LOL
Here is my bacon:
