I've seen this recipe before. I'll probably do my next one with this, before I try the cajun recipe. What wood are you smoking with?

I use hickory, apple and cherry

I'm going to try pecan on one of these batches. I'd like to perfect a recipe that has a Texas twist, so I can give some homemade bacon as gifts to family during the holidays.

I'm also going to start making my own bourbon vanilla extract.

I’ve made vanilla extract with both vodka and light rum. The bourbon vanilla extract sounds awesome. I’ll have to make some.

Regarding actually cooking the bacon for serving. I saw a hack the other day about cooking the bacon in a pan with a thin layer of water in the pan. I'll have to try this.

I use our Ninja 10 in 1 air fryer pro. 14 minutes at 350, air bake, it's perfect

Let us know how the water works, that seems counter to what I'd have believed

Bacon Cooking Hack

I’ve lately been cooking bacon in the oven. Put a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and the bacon on top. About 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees. And usually there’s not much clean up: the paper keeps the pan clean.

I'm going to try some Mexican vanilla beans too, I've heard they have a slightly smokey flavor... This will be a fun experiment
