Re: How to tell my neighbour "your doin it all wrong"

You're probably being a bit dramatic, I don't think it's that bad really, but you could always present him with a box of lighter cubes and a chimney starter....

I have been wanting to try curing my own bacon ever since getting my BGE, this thing smokes sooo good! Thanks to my butcher who gave me his own home made sweet cure, I set about making my first lot of bacon, this process is far from difficult or time consuming, I know, if I didn't have a good source ...
