Porkbellies cured for 9days, smoked with maple and hickory, vacuum sealed and "rested" 5 days. Sliced and packaged yesterday. Best bacon I ever had, and I've had a lot! Did I mention that it was -27deg F. ?

Awesome job and that is some dedication to smoke during the intense cold. pwa still takes the coldest temperature to smoke that I have seen at -43F :p
 
It was a balmy -27, lol, Ive smoked here in more than a -50 windchill. not bad for a UDS.
 
For all of those North of the Border...Pork Shoulders @ Loblaw affilliates this week, $1.00/lb
 
From the first porkbelly, we got 60 slices, vacuum sealed them in 10 slice packages. We'll probably get 40 slices from the smaller one. The two bellies together weighed about 12 lbs. I may not buy commercial bacon again!
 
Looks great except for all that snow. Do you have a specific recipie you used..curing sprices, etc ?
