How To Make Bacon For Beginners - Pro Max 100S Smokehouse - Smokin' Joe's Pit BBQ 

Thank you for watching my bacon video. If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing.

I like how meaty that bacon is. The black pepper is definitely a nice touch. I was also thinking how good that would be in a BLT, and you did it. Awesome, all around. Cheers, Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

That bacon looked amazing. That is probably the meatiest bacon that I have ever seen. Great video.

Thanks Joe for another video. I’ve been making my own bacon for the past few years and it’s pretty easy and always tasty. I do a dry brine method mostly with kosher salt, brown sugar and pink salt. Not sure if you’ve done shoulder bacon ( aka buckboard bacon) before but that’s a nice alternative to pork belly. All the best for you in 2024🎉

Good Lord that looks good!!!

Joe that looked absolutely delicious brother,

Great video Mr. Joe will be making this soon 👍🏼

Hello Joe, great video, and yes, so so so easy and a taste that can't be bought at the best of grocery stores. I see a few folks complaining about the price of your new smoker. I'm using a 10+ year old Master Chef 30" propane smoker. Nothing against that company but in comparison to yours, it's the Chevy Vega of smokers, but it still turns out some awesome Q and smoked treats. Use, learn, and adapt. The temp knob settings are NO where near correct, bought an ink bird remote sensor. The smoke chip/sawdust bowl is a joke, bought an A-maze-n tube for pellet use. Flame at times blows out, I built a wind break. And still turning out beautiful sausage, pastrami, pulled pork, loin ham, bacon, wings, you name it. Even a 12lb spatchcock turkey. I made it fit. lol I wanted a nicer one, but at 60 years old, just couldn't justify dropping 2, 3', 4G's, for something I might not use all that much at that age. Now 70, screw it. Might swap some vacation money and get a nice one. If people think that smoker's pricey, they oughta price out a real slicer. Maybe I can find a good used one. As always, TYFS Joe. Nice cook.

Thanks!

Great video Joe! I started making my own bacon several years back and love it! My family gave me a cold smoke generator for Christmas so this Spring I am going to build a small smoke house to cold smoke my bellies! 🥓 Have a wonderful day!

Perfect bacon, perfect sandwich. Nicely done!

Joe, that bacon is amazing. After about 11 days of work, I'll bet that BLT was one of the best ever. I just saw a video from Pitmaster X and he used the same cut of belly. I was thinking "Where has THAT been all my life??!!"

dang you earned that Mohican BLT I see a addition to the food trailer menu.

That's the most beautiful bacon and BLT I've ever seen. Now I need to make some.

Looks Delicious

Might have to give this a try...no fair flexing the pool while I'm out shoveling wet, heavy snow. 😂

I've been curing and smoking my own for a few years now, there is no comparison to the store bought crap. I love to take a 1/2 inch slab and fry that up, nice chef's snack once its all done.

I love homemade bacon! This reminds me it’s been a while since I made any!! Awesome video Joe!

Got to hit your establishment my next trip home to my home town of El Paso. Your food truck and L&J's will be on my menu. Thanks for the awesome recipes Joe.👍

Your right Joe I've been making my own bacon for about two years it's completely different than store brought bacon.

I only do cold smoke bacon. .nice job joe. meaty bacon..

Joe that got my mouth waterin'. Awesome stuff brother! 👍👍

Love your videos. I have learned so much from watching 👍🏾

Looks so good. Alot better than store bought bacon. Yummy good.

I am not a fan of tomatoes but DAMN that BLT looks delicious.

Make me a sammich joe!!

fantastic video. Thanks for putting it together. Watching you slice it on a slicer would have been SOOOOO satisfying. ;) Kidding, but thanks againf or the great video.

Very Informative Video. Congrats on the New Smoker. Bacon really looks good. Will blt's be coming to the truck soon.

Freaking amazing Joe! Definitely better than store bought! My next investment definitely a smoker! Awesome video. Cheers brother 🍻

Hey Joe, I've been wanting to do this for a while. It sure did look good.

I actually have 3 bellies in the curing process right now. I’m finishing it this weekend. Looks good bro!

Joe, this looks amazing! Where can I buy a pork belly like that and what is it called?

Can you put a link to the pork belly...looks delicious, nice job

Good video! Can you make another video using the Chud Box? How are you liking that cooker?

You must have a disposable income with all of the equipment you have. Good video.

Where did you find that awesome pork belly?! Also, I usually roll the smoke for the first 2 or so hours. What is the benefit for bringing it to 100 degrees before adding smoke ?

Hey Joe what type of of induction burner is that?

Looks delicious Joe , would this be possible on a pellet smoker

I made my own bacon recently and found that it cooks quite a bit different from bacon I might get from the store. Do you find that also with your homemade bacon? It seems to cook/burn faster, even with putting it in the oven.

can u do more cooks on the chudbox

Looks fantastic! What are you going to do with the PK smoker? For sale?

Joe several questions about where you purchased that porkbelly. Am i missing the reply?

Where do you get the pork valley like that

Where can I get a piece of meat like that. My wife is British and would love more meat on bacon.

Joe, why is the fat cap so hard after this process & cooking it. ?

i've done a few, i had one that turned out really good. then another it was just too thick.

Where did you get the belly?

Why is the probe reading 176 but the pit is a 143?

You need a half a pound for a sandwich but great looking bacon

Where did the pork belly come from?!?

3500 for that smoker is a absolute insult...sad part is dummies will buy it

Joe gonna have to unsub now. Your at about 85 percent commercial now.
