"gourmet" smokehouses. I used cayenne, salt (not enough-next time more) brown sugar and rosemary. Cured it for four days and smoked it for three hours, very low. Just a hint of rosemary after cooking, which is what I was looking for. The only problem is that my kitchen smells like hickory!

Wish I could send you all a piece of it!

 
I find when I have something cooking over night, I dream about food... Happens when I make

pulled pork or use the slow cooker.... Fun dreams, but I wake up Really, really hungry!! In other words, if your kitchen has fun, lasting smell, I think I would be having lots of fun dreams with a hickory scent!

Glad your bacon came out well. I am impressed.

 
I find that good food smells in the morning is the best alarm clock! hmmmm, we should market that

 
Chef nephew gave me two pork bellies (about five lbs. each). I used

One for this and froze the other. I didn't want to use "pink" salt so I just used the dry rub
Smoker is a Brinkman DH gave me for my birthday many, many years ago ( some women receive flowers and diamonds- he knows me too well!)

 
My hubby has that tool chest. Bought it a few years ago, then lined all the drawers ...

with a forest green liner of some sort, so the tools don't move back and forth and the liner absorbs some of the noise. Very nice unit!
