🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories, while pork belly can be more affordable.

1

Fire up your smoker or grill; I’m using a KamadoJoe with beech wood.

2

Add wood, choke airflow, build thick smoke.

3

Slice pork belly—half fat, half meat.

4

Season with salt; skip sugar for pure flavor.

5

Smoke until 65°C—cooked and smoky.

6

Cool or freeze half; sear the rest with beef tallow.

7

Sear until golden brown.

8

Layer on bread with mayo, tomato, lettuce, and PitmasterX Chicken seasoning.
