Good job and nice tutorial with great pictures.
I use Tender Quick when doing my bacon (mostly for ease) with very good results. I also see you don't over cook yours which is very important when cooking bacon with nitrites and nitrates.
I also go for color buy smoking in a 18 cf. smoker using 1 AMNPS it takes 72 hours to reach the color you got. What was the highest IT smoker temperature while smoking with two AMNPS's. I sometimes have trouble keeping mine below 80 degrees using one.
Again, good job.
