Back bacon with Oommpapy's awesome recipe.
Cured for 4 days and smoked in the WSM over KF and hickory.
Kept the dome temp at about 200 for 41/2 hrs. Pulled at 152* and basted with maple syrup and rolled in cornmeal.




Out of the cure and into the smoker.



Ready to come off

 
Somebody, anybody....inquiring minds want to know....what is the purpose of the cornmeal???????
 
Although both made from the loin….Pea meal bacon is cured but not smoked and coated with corn meal…..Canadian Bacon is cured and smoked……not traditionally rolled in Pea Mea…
 
OK, so we have back bacon, pea meal bacon, Canadian Bacon, and one is cured and not smoked then rolled in pea meal and one is smoked but not cured and not rolled in pea meal and one is cured and smoked. Which one do you use pea meal on and which one do you use corn meal on? [smilie=a_whyme.gif] :LOL:
 
Looks good Puff! That stuff doesn't last long around here, in fact I
think some of my friends and neighbors are addicted. 8)

Well, it's a free country. If you like nice crispy bits of corn meal
on the edges of the bacon then it gets the meal. If not, just cure
& smoke. I get requests for both.
I would suggest making some up, do it both ways, and see for yourself. :LOL:

Thanks OomPap, that's all I was looking for, I didn't know if it served another purpose other than just a texture/crusty thing.
