You may be asking yourself: Is making homemade bacon even worth it? The short answer is yes! Making bacon at home allows you to control exactly what goes into your bacon, allowing you to control the quality of the meat, the level of smokiness, and the seasoning! This recipe will also give you complete control over the thickness of your bacon! When you make your bacon at home, you can slice it up just how you like it! 🎥For this edition of Backyard Bosses, a Pit Boss original Youtube series, Scale & Tailor shows us how to make homemade bacon on her Pit Boss wood pellet grill. 🔥 Smoking Time & Temperature: Smoke at 180-200°F for about 2-4 hours, or until the pork belly reaches an internal temperature of 150°F. 🔪 Let's Slice in: Once your pork belly has reached the correct internal temperature, remove it from the smoker and let it cool completely before slicing! You can use either a sharp knife or a meat slicer to slice the bacon to your desired thickness!
Remember, proper sanitation and food safety practices are crucial when curing and smoking meats at home. Follow the curing instructions carefully and ensure all equipment and surfaces are clean to prevent any risk of contamination.
