Bull Smoke box for pork belly bacon

[Mark jones]

Do you use the grill or smoke box for making bacon

I use the grill at 160º-170º for about 6 hours

Do you recalibrate your PID for that? Technically it can't be set that low, right?

 

[Greg Jones]

Just set your grill to LOW, and assuming the feed rate hasn’t been jacked up, the grill will be fine at around 180° and will be at least 20-30° lower in the smoke box. I make bacon all the time and have never used the smoke box to do it.

What recipe/instructions are you following?
I do an equilibrium cure and then cold smoke and dry it. I don't cook the bacon when I eat it.

Are you asking me or the OP?

Sorry, OP.
You can share as well if you’re in the mood.
Me I just do tender quick for 10-14 days in a ziplock. No big secret.

Ah, I see why I haven’t seen it. 3 years ago.

I run the 180 method as well.

No, I set it to low and crack the lid about 1"
