Most pigs are slaughtered at 4 to 7 months yielding an 9" to 12" pork belly, when old sows slow at reproduction, usually between 3 to 4 years they’re butchered but they are usually grinders. After curing and smoking the 12" bacon it will shrink approximately 10 to 15% so you can fit most bacons on a slicer with a 10" travel. I have a 1940 Hobart 410, it travels 10" and I have been able to slice all the bacon I’ve done with no problem, so a 10" should do the job. The only issue I have with the Hobart 410 is the cradle is not removable which makes cleaning a chore.

Mcjagger That is what I am waiting on, the big sale. I am in no hurry as I already have a Vacmaster.

Mcjagger as of yesterday it looked like the Nano was on sale for 50% off. I know in the past multiple times the Pro has been on sale for 50% off, if I didn’t already have 1, I’d be buying a Pro at 50% off.

johnsbrewhouse If they are like everything else, they are probably all made in the same factory and branded with different names

Not that you need one more, but I have an Anova at the recommendation of some here in the community. I have had no problems with it. I picked it up at COSTCO Online, but they do not show up on their website anymore. I got the kit with the tub and lid.

kyle I’m looking to buy an Anova Pro so if you hear anything I’d much appreciate a heads up.

One of my sons got me a Greater Good 1100 watt model. I am very satisfied with it & like it because it is more analog & seems pretty heavy duty & durable, yet simple.

I’m still looking at the fence! Almost pulled the trigger last Sunday but didn’t.
