Bringing home the bacon!!!

About 2.25 hours into the jerky drying. Getting pretty close, maybe another hour. I think the Doc's jerky recipe is going to turn out well. I have 2 full trays on the Traeger and 1.5 trays in the oven.

The Doc's Jerky recipe is probably the best jerky I've ever made. I added a couple of teaspoons of red pepper flakes and some extra black pepper.

I have it all vac bagged with little O2 absorbing packages and sitting in our spare fridge, but I bet it's all gone in a few weeks anyway.

The German bacon is going to have to cure for another week. I got home too late from my business trip to pull it and let it dry overnight. I only had today to smoke it.

I'll massage it in the bag really good and let it sit until the 12th, when I get home again.
