Makin Bacon!

Once again, Helge and I joined forces to create some awesome bacon!

He cures this at his place, and then I smoke it on my Green Egg over applewood. 

Here are some pics of the belly on my smoker, and then wrapped up for transport afterwards. 

I should mention that Helge gets this pork from a local source called 'Arnold's Farm'. This pork is top quality and locally produced in Illinois. These are happy pigs who live among other happy animals. These animals are so happy that they don't even mind that we are about to eat them! This makes them yummier than they would be if they had not lived such an awesome life. 

Think about that ... That basically means that if you are living a happy life.. and you are feelin good right now... there is a good chance that you are both tender and delicious.
