Been curing my fresh bellies all week and today is the day I finally get to cook em!
Sure did fill er up... Maybe it's time for a bigger pit, or maybe next time a smaller hog ;)
Can't wait to fry up a slice!!!

Fine work! Can't wait to see how they turned out.
 
Thanks all. I'll tell you this, curing 24 lbs of belly in my only fridge all week with the wife and two kids at home was a serious juggling act!!!
 
I started them around 180 and slowly built up to around 225. They hit 145-150 after about 2.5 hours...
 
How did they turn out? They look fantastic in the smoker.
 
It came out good. I'll say this, next time I do it I will do a smaller batch. 24 lbs is a bit much to handle without more room. I didn't really notice the other spices coming through so that part I need to work on. All part of the fun!
