It's now 5:14 and still no pics of #2? How am I going to live vicariously through you if I don't see any pics?

I got to sample scotty's loaf of meat

Just made my first one and waiting for the smoke to start and temp to stabilize before I put it on. Can't wait to try it, smells so good before it's even cooked I can't imagine it not being great!

(pics to follow later)

I couldn't resist adding some cheddar to the mix:



Grill is just about good. Can't quite get it cooler than 250 though Smoke is smelling great though (2 small cast iron smoker boxes.)

Should be putting the explosion on in just a few minutes!

They made a bacon explosion on good morning america the other day.

Okay kids, we're about to attempt the Bacon Explosion in the oven. We'll let you know what happens...

Okay, here's the pics EsHO!

More to come later

Mine came out great. I ended up having to lower the grate on my grill to find a spot that held 225 and went through 2 bags of smoking chips. After almost 3 hours it was still only showing 150 in the center but we had to get to the game so I finished if off on my friends grill (No smoke there, but with the temp over 140 already not much more smoke flavor would stick anyway.)

Finally about halfway through the 2nd quarter it was done. So no finished photos since we were a little too busy watching the game and chowing on bacon at that time.

The result? Pure deliciousness!

There is a heaven! I cant view the site at work damnit!

Anyone want to share tips on weaving the bacon? It looks like it'd be tricky. Is it?

forward it and watch the video at 4.10 to 5.28 it shows you how to do it. Actually its pretty easy.Have fun

thats how i weave my bacon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool, thanks guys! I think I'm gonna make one next weekend in G.

I might make something similar with beef

ground beef and habaneros in the middle then wrap it with flank steak, and put bacon on the outside of that

As much as I love meat......I really do not think I could eat this! Too much of a good thing I'm thinkin

That is great.............. I'M in.

And here I was thinking that bacon wrapped cheese brats were good. Thanks, I gots something new to try on the next trip out!

^^^^^^^^^^ I agree

I wish I had a reason to make something like this.. other than it looks freaking fantastic.

How did it come out, GroundHog/Eddie?

could you imagine if it were breaded and deep fried

try it randy and let us know how it works out for ya

I don't know if I'll bread and fry it. but man, this thing has been on my mind all day long.

bacon is good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm making one this weekend. I don't want to, I have to. MUST EAT BACON....

Ya know, making one of these sounds like the perfect weekend plan.

Just saw an interesting thing on the Food Network. Some restaurant makes a meatloaf where they line the whole pan in bacon and then put the meatloaf mix in/on the bacon and cook it. Sounds awesome! They serve it with the bacon still attached to the sides and bottom of the meatloaf. Yum!

Ok, today I'm making one with chile seasoned ground beef, flank steak, and three alarm cheese as the filling, then wrapped in bacon. I'll post pics later.

its later

I have lived a complete life. If I pass now, (which I may) I will go with a smile twords the light....

I had a chance to tag along with a group of guys who were camping over at the base of Split Mountain, and they do some inner 4wd stuff, crusing and looking at the views. Cool stuff.
I brought my bike, and did some riding, but one of the planned events was of course the 'course' no one had had before....
I did the Bacon Explosion for a camping trip! It was amazingly awesome! Although I didnt have a grease free hand to take photos of the build, I did take a few of the cooking.

Truth is, although it looks like it will explode your heart, you dont really eat that much.


Enjoy, we did!

BACON EXPLOSION #2



This is in Ocotillo, at the base of Split Mt. Doin a little Jeepin, and Geocachin in the fresh mud in the washes.


I'm lovin the STUBBS BBQ sauce.. stuff is kik ass.

I woke up at 06:00 to start cooking it since it needed 2 hrs and we planned morning chow at o8:00.

looks great !!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first bacon explosion done a few weekends ago. We followed the recipe to the letter, only straying by using pre-cooked bacon inside due to space constraints. We baked up some kroger (store brand) buttermilk biscuits and cut those in half, serving the slices of bacon explosion on them. It turned out, in a word, amazing. Ours took 3 hours, 20 minutes to reach 165 degrees using an electric smoker with applewood.

The next one calls for the same recipe adding smoked gouda pieces inside as well as my Italian variant using pizza sauce instead of barbeque sauce and pepperoni and mozzerela instead of pre cooked bacon inside.

Bacon is the candy of meat, period.

Looks good Fireball
