So is that your smoker? Cold smoker I'm assuming. I gotta make one of those one day!

THAT IS MY (COLD) SMOKER. IT IS A NEW BUILD AS THE OLD ONE (A MODIFIED ANCIENT STEEL FRIDGE) CAUGHT FIRE FILLED WITH BELLIES AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. YES, PORK IS A GREAT FUEL.

I've never heard of face bacon before. I'm slaughtering two hogs in a few weeks; I was already planning to make jowl bacon (guanciale) but I don't think I can pass up using the whole face. I noticed a bit of fuzz on the face and the jowls... any reason for that? You have any places I could look up for how to do face bacon?

THE HAIRY FACES IS JUST LAZINESS ON MY PART, IT SHOULD COME OFF. JUST BRINE AND SMOKE LIKE REGULAR BACON...
