What exactly is a smokehouse? Is double smoked bacon better than regular bacon? Why smoked sausage? Read ahead to learn more!

Smokehouses

From large commercial grade equipment to small family business owned devices, a smokehouse is a simplified version of the kind of heat processing unit being used today by big companies in the meat industry. Yet, the idea around smoking meats is the same. A smokehouse provides and enclosed area for better control over the smoke level and temperature to ensure your meats—like bacon and sausage—get smoked properly. Good smoking results in mouthwatering meats.

Double smoked bacon

Double smoked bacon has become a popular addition to American cuisine, though it’s been a common food in Poland and Germany for a long time. Here’s a bit more information to get your appetite excited:

• Needs a longer smoke time: Double smoked bacon requires a longer stay in a wood smoker. The smoke time is about 24 hours, while most commercially produced bacon in this country only spends six hours or less in the smoker. The longer smoking time allows double smoked bacon to form a complex and satisfyingly deep smoky flavor.
• No need for brine injections: Regular commercially produced bacon receives brine injections for a quick cure, whereas double smoked bacon cures slowly by sitting in a mixture of its own juices and dry spices. It has a thicker, meatier texture, thanks to the lack of extra moisture.
• The cut is thicker: Since the smoke time is longer, double smoked bacon normally comes from a thicker cut of bacon. Put a typical piece of bacon in a smoker for too long and you’ll be left with a burnt crisp or ashes.

Smoked sausages

Like double smoked bacon, cured sausages are smoked slowly to create a burst of flavor. If you want a long-lasting sausage, get smoked because they don’t need to stay in a cooler, and can be eaten as-is, heated or chopped up cold for use in a variety of dishes.
