Bacon Explosion now available in ready-to-eat format

Here’s an update on the bacon explosion guys, Aaron Chronister and Jason Day. The two amateur barbecue enthusiasts’ recipe for bacon-stuffed-in-sausage-stuffed-in-bacon took the Internet by storm, landing them on the pages of the New York Times and with a six-figure book deal.

Since then, countless people have tried to make the bacon explosion. But the original was smoked for hours, and because many people don’t own smokers they tried to make it on grills and in ovens with varying degrees of success.

To help solve the problem, Chronister and Day are now selling a “fully smoked heat and eat” version on their Web site, BBQ Addicts. It’s packaged in Missouri and shipped in dried ice.

“We wanted to release it in time for the Fourth of July,” Chronister explained, “but it took a month and a half to get the USDA approval and we missed by a couple days. But hey, there is still Labor Day.”

Since these packaged bacon explosion is already smoked and cooked, it doesn’t need fancy equipment.
