Started with a 7.25# pork belly, made up a curing rub, split it into two pieces, rubbed, wrapped and now the hard part.... WAITING! Gonna smoke it after curing with some hickory and apple wood!

Thats gonna be amazing! :icon_smile_tongue:

I bet that's going to be good.
I can't find pork belly for a good price. I wonder if bonless pork butt would be good to use.

Would you mind sharing the curing rub?

I just finally found a pork belly. I can't pass up for $2.19 a pound, its an 8 pounder.

Thanks

Yep would love to know the rub and if you are going to hot or cold smoke.

Crazy Harry 02-24-2013 06:07 PM

you'll never buy bacon again.

Handsome Jack 02-24-2013 10:05 PM

Looks great

Handsome Jack 02-24-2013 10:15 PM

Bacon looks great, do you use a curing salt?
Cant wait for update

Actually, my curing rub was very simple. For a 7# pork belly, I used:

1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp. black pepper
3 tbsp. real maple syrup (optional)

Tomorrow is 7 days, and I might have to smoke them by Wed. or Thursday. I can't wait much longer. I will hot smoke them since cold smoking is mostly done during the actual curing process. I will smoke til the IT reaches 150, then cool and they're ready to slice.

So no curing salt (Cure#1 or TQ)? Interesting. Does it taste/look diff than nitrite cured bacon?
