My quest to create Bacon Burnt Ends is complete. :LOL2:
I was able to find "Slab" bacon at the local butcher shop. I had him cut me roughly a 2-pound slab. His curiosity peaked when I asked him not to slice it. I told him I was attempting to make bacon burnt ends. I also wanted to try a new BBQ sauce, something that would offset the bacon and rub with some sweetness. I ended up going with Kosmos Q Cherry Habanero BBQ Sauce. Think about the flavors for a second.....Bacon, rub, Cherry, and a hint of heat.

I tried to cut the bacon into even "squares"

My current Smoker. I used a heavy cast iron pan with apple chunks. The pan that comes with these are garbage in my opinion

After 2 hours at roughly 225 plus or minus 10 degrees :|

Overall it was a success. Next time I will smoke them for a little longer, maybe 45 minutes. They lasted about 15 minutes after they came out.

I just purchased a pork belly and am going to attempt to make my own bacon. If it works, I will do it again for the next experiment with Bacon Burnt Ends
 
I've yet to do that with bacon! Dang!!!... Done it with beef....but bacon???!?... I'm totally going to do that!
