I think I will be cooking more bacon now.  I can see cooking 1-2# on the weekend and then eating it throughout the week on BLT or club sandwiches in the Summer with some good tomatoes.

I need to cook more as well.
A while back I made an online order from a local Food Service Warehouse (Shamrock) and bacon was only $2.40/lb so I couldn't pass up ordering a 10#box.
I mistakenly ordered two 10# boxes of bacon instead of one.   
Was able to sell 4lbs to a friend but still left a lot.
Think I still have 12lbs left.

I just bought another # of bacon at the grocery store at lunch time.  I may fry some up this week and vac seal (or eat).  I did get some tomatoes and some smoked ham slices so there will be club sandwiches this week.

I would have bought 50 pounds at $2.40/lb.  I am happy when I can get bellies at Costco for $2.99/lb.  Would be great not to go through all the hassle of curing and cutting for that price!

There's no such thing as having too much bacon. However it is possible to not have enough bacon. :-)

Wow, you sure gave the new griddle a workout!
Is there enough capacity in the grease reservoir to handy all that you cooked?

[Bar-B-Lew]

Yes, the trough was fine.  There wasn't much that ran into it.  There is a hole in the trough too so it drips into the grill and onto the flavorizer bars and into the aluminum pan below.

Here is my manual burger press.  They were a little thicker than I thought but still moist throughout.

Cleaned up in about 5+ minutes with soap and hot water in the big sink.  I need to get a high heat silicone scraper to do a better job of cleaning while on the grill.  I don't want to use a metal one on this Weber porcelain coated griddle.

Cleaned up nicely.
I see the drain hole in the last pic now.

I'm really happy with the Weber griddle so far.  I made a pack of bacon, 8 hot italian sausage patties, and cheesesteaks on the griddle this morning.  I had six large chicken breasts and a pack of pepper jack johnsonville sausages cooking on the two grill grates to the left of the griddle.  Great to have multi purpose grill.

I am going to see if that griddle fits in the Memphis Elite as the grates look really close to the same size.
