You can also make soap with it.

While the grease is still hot, filter it with a cheese cloth or your underwear. In a separate pot, add ashes from a fireplace or campfire and heat the mixture up (it makes potash). Filter the potash with a coffee filter or your underwear. Boil the potash down until its pH is around 10 (basic - lye). Let cool.

Add 2/3rds filtered bacon fat (liquid, not hardened) to 1/3rd filtered potash and heat and stir until the mixture thickens.

Pour into a pan until about an inch high. Let cool and cut into bars.

You’ll smell like a mountain man (or a mountain girl) and the muslims will have nothing to do with you.

Excuse me. Add the ashes to water in a separate pot.

Your last sentence makes it worth a million bucks..If the muslims start fights over here, dip your bullets in it and let them know they are dipped in bacon grease....

The soap smells like bacon? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of washing?
