Bacon Questions

[Hogsy]

I'm going to smoke some bacon today , it's been sitting in a dry maple cure for the last 8 days and it's ready to go
Just wondering what's the best temp to run the smoker at for hot smoking bacon?

I like to do 100 for the first hour or two, then bump to 160 or 180.

You should also air dry the belly for 24 hours after curing.

Ok thanks Troy, air dry in the fridge right?

[Troy]

Yes. Some get away with 12 hours. Some don't even dry, but you'll get better smoke flavor if you dry
