Buckboard Bacon Take Two
Just put two cured butts on the WSM with some apple chunks. This time around I cured one (6.5lb trimmed/boned) with HiMountain BB cure and one (7.0lb trimmed/boned) with Thirdeye's TQ cure recipe for comparison. Let them cure for 12 days with a 6 hour soak out. Post-smoke/slice pics to follow....

2. in reefer overnight (15 hours) to equalize and form pellicle. 3. smoked at 200F until 150 internal. Two pics of the butts just off the smoker before going into fridge for pre-slicing cool down.

Absolutely not... much, much better. No excess water that scums/boils off in the pan. You are in control of the flavor..I used coarse black pepper, real maple syrup and some brown sugar. The best BLT imaginable! Try it, you won't regret it. Next time, I am thinking of trying a pork belly for a more traditional bacon.

i use pork loin for my buck board bacon.
if you have never had it, the best way i can describe it is the texture of ham with the flavor of bacon. but better. i use 3rd eye's recipe with great results. it is so easy i always keep some in vacuum packs in the freezer.
