It sure was the right color when I fried it up in a pan last night, lol. I had some problems with my brain, though.
Not sure if I related this earlier, but I left the salt on the bacon when I smoked it, and that was a mistake. I rinsed it
off after the smoking was 80% complete, but it was SALTY. Next time I rinse it, pat it, wait for the pellicle and then
smoke that $hi+.
