You should fry bacon naked. You keep the heat low so you don't get spattered and the bacon cooks more evenly. Just make sure all the curtains are drawn. :evil:

I think it is a beefalo hybrid.

Caution: If you decide to take the safety off your bear spray canister while camping in the deep woods, try not to grab it at 2:30 am in the tent and squeeze accidentally even for a millisecond, as you might get a nice orange stain on your tent and stand for 1/2 hour washing your eyes out with all of your available water. :)
