Looks great, Mikey!  I highly recommend the cold smoke plate for applications like this; it works great.

Looks great Mikey!

Did you use chunks or chips?

For lower temp smokes, chips will stay lit better.

Just a thought.

Thanks!  8)  I used chunks, it was ok since it all worked out in the end. I may try chips on the second half that I do tomorrow, depends on what I have on hand.

All the bacon is done and tested. Packaged all 130 slices this weekend. Things turned out well! I have a little tweak to the recipe for success, when I get home from work I will post the recipe and instructions. Thinking about it, I should have originally posted this in anything goes and did a final bacon post.. Maybe I will do a separate post with the need to know information. Thanks.

That looks great!  You thought right, originally; this is the best place for this post, and will be for a separate one with the recipe.
