How to Improve Store bought Bacon - My Method

qnorthNear Traverse City, MI

Add smoked flavor to any fresh bacon you buy. Works for both regular bacon and turkey bacon.

I bought 3 lbs of uncooked bacon from Sam's Club (any flavor or special treatment you like)

I hung the bacon in my 055 using the jerky rods. Doesn't take many rods.

Use the cold smoke baffle, or cover one of your racks with foil to make a baffle.

Put in wood; hickory, maple, apple, or whatever you like.

Turn the smoker on for 25 mins or when copious smoke comes out the vent, which ever occurs first. Turn the smoker off and let sit for an hour or more.

Refrigerate or freeze the bacon as you see fit.

REALLY, really smokey and delicious.

Yep. Done it and you are correct, very good. I also like to cure and smoke fresh side to 140*, then I immediately place it in the freezer to stiffen up some, then slice. Also yummy.
