Would two pounds of bacon entice you to buy a Tremec transmission kit? That’s the hope behind American Powertrain’s #BaconShift promotion.
Now through January 6, if you buy one of its ProFit five- or six-speed manual overdrive transmission kits, American Powertrain will throw in two pounds of Benton’s bacon–free–plus a $250 discount towards the kit.
Apparently, everything is better with bacon, …
Do I need a transmission kit? Not really, but how could I say no to all that bacon?
Does bacon grease make a good substitute for gear oil?
MEAT CANDY RULZ!!!!!!
Only 2 lbs?
Not sure about this deal, but I'd love to have a TKX 5 speed for future projects.
Benton's is some of the best bacon I've ever had... Price reflects that too...
The Benton's Bacon connection made me realize that American Powertrain is just down the road from me. Benton's is bacon legend, exported to Michelin star restaurants all over the country. It's unique and a rare treat.
How much bacon do I have to buy to get a free transmission?

mmmmmmm, breakfast!
Benton's??? anyone try Wright Brand ?
So, I'm curious how they get this bacon to the customer. Only time I've ever ordered meat from another state, they had to overnight it, with dry ice. Seems like bacon would go bad before it made it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Actually got a shipment today from Benton's. My aunt and uncle send us a few lbs for the holidays. It comes in a priority flat rate envelope, no refrigeration needed. Pretty strange. It WILL make the whole pantry smell like...bacon, so we keep ours in the freezer.
another tip: it's very salty (hence the no refrigeration), so if you're one of those weirdos who likes to bake/roast your bacon, like me (this stuff is thick, so 350 for 20-25 mins usually does the trick), doing so will amplify the salinity even more. It's the best bacon I've ever had.

If it did, this is the gift that keeps on giving!

so how do you reduce the salinity level? rinse first (is that sacrilege?)

That makes sense, I hadn't considered it being almost like jerky... and shouldn't you bake it? I mean, it IS called bacon, after all. =P
