Awesome .....got a question...while smoking with hot smoke...the bacon...you don't have a problem with drippings on the hotplate causing either flames or undesired smoke or is the temperature too low for the "juices to run".. thanks again for sharing

@CarolinaIcegore

Howdy. Yes, there is very little dripping and I have since done away with the hot plate. I now have that old fridge just sitting over the chimney that pipes into the cabin from the outside. I decided to contain that cold smoke and boy it works fine. I like the idea of staying away from electricity if I can. By the bye, cheese and hard boiled eggs, with a light smoke, are well worth fighting over......

great video. where do you get the bacon hangers?

[DrDunvegan]

@atcnick

Hi there. I bought them from a butcher supply house in Edmonton. They sure do keep the bacon from slipping off. I think they would be available in any 'butcher supply' store.

What a pro way to smoke your own stuff. I dream having a job like yours. Congratulations.

I have not found a source for pork bellies here in Silicon Valley, but I've cured and smoked ham. I'll attach a vid of how I do it. Vacuum bagging the little hams and freezing them for future use is similar to what you show for the bacon. Your smoke house looks terrific.

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

You know, something about the video just had me entranced. I'm from Wisconsin and have always wanted to do some smoking of my own but just have never had the chance yet. Just keep making videos Doc, I was sad when it finished. Thank you for your efforts and sharing with us.

Thats my dream smokehouse! Awesome setup. I too make my own bacon and hams, but I have a cookshack 55. Great unit, but my dream is to have a big smokehouse like yours. your bacon looks fantastic.
