Default Bacon Time in the Great White North

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. ?

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!
