Alternate Actuator: The Bacon Edition

1 minute read time

With humble admiration and praise for sqlrockstar and his weekly Actuator, I wonder if it might be time for an alternate Actuator. August, aka the "silly season," is just around the corner. The silly season's heat and high population density tend to make people behave differently than they would if they were cool, calm, and collected. That's why I am considering an alternate Actuator, one that will focus on the silly to honor August.

August is hot. And sweaty. And sweat is salty. And what could be better than connecting something hot with something salty, like bacon?

  • Sadly it was the first time I made it as a bacon wrapped delicacy. I have obviously been missing out.

    The other time I smoked the tenderloins was also very good but that was a couple of years ago and I forgot what I did. 

    I seemed to have worked out the smoker my wife got me for Christmas when I was recovering from neck surgery.

    Of course a smoked ham or brisket is more common fare.  I may have to do a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving this year, I haven't done one in a few years.
