My homemade bacon from a 9.5 pound slab of pork belly is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finished smoking it at about 165 degrees on my Traeger with cherry pellets. I complimented with some apple chips in a smoke tube mixed with the cherry pellets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put in the fridge overnight and cut about half the slab into strips Monday. Placed everything in plastic ziplock bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight I finished the process slicing the rest of the slab into strips and vacuum sealing into packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With what I already cooked and sliced tonight I ended up with about 64 thick slices of delicious bacon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some pics below of what 9.5 pounds of pork belly turned into bacon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
