Pownce Pork Project - Day 16 Give a Little - Get a Little (bacon) We are back in the swing of things! Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the smoke question. I had totally not counted on folks picking a blend of woods, but what a great combo: cherry and oak. I wish I could claim that the oak was from my yard like the cherry, but they are both high quality and great smokin' woods. The bacon has come along nicely. In just a few short weeks we have chosen a path (savory vs sweet), picked some flavors (garlic sage, YUM), cured the super fat belly and smoked it to perfection. Tonight I threw the cured slab into the smoker with some chunks of cherry and oak and in just 2 hours a rich, smokey, huge slab of bacon emerged... open source bacon at that! p Now the part that I've been waiting for. The auction! Here's the plan - over the next few days pick a food-related charity...anything from your local food bank to the United Way....if it feeds people, promotes healthy food, supports local farms, ANYTHING...just make a donation. It doesn't matter if we start at Ten Cents or Ten Dollars ... if, at the end of the week the highest donation is $5 or $500, it doesn't matter... Make a donation, take a screen shot, post it to Pownce and your in the running. (do me a favor and reply to this thread with a link if you decide to post your own thread) I've decided to slice this bad boy in half (have you seen the pics? There's plenty to go around). The person who donates the most gets one half..everone else will go into a raffle and maybe we can get a Pownce celebrity judge to pick a name. BTW - I'll match the highest donation, up to $50 Winners get their bacon shipped via fedex cold packs right to their door.
