Time to smoke the Buck Board Bacon.

Some country styled ribs, the ones on the left just salt and pepper, on the right with some of my rub. Just a little on both because I wanted to get the taste of the crab apple wood I was using. I was quit satisfied with the flavor, not as good as apple but real close.

40 degrees with winds of 20 mph and gusts + 30 mph, there’s no stinking wind chill in Wisconsin

Would like to thank thirdeye for all the advice, the only thing I’d change next time is to let is soak longer. I only did it for 6 hours changing water every half hour. Next time I’ll soak 10 to 12 hours

All in all mighty tasty.
 
I don't see photos but I should be the last one to mention that.:icon_blush:

I am getting ready to slice the buckboard bacon I made a few days ago. I now realize I should have soaked and rinsed at least a couple more hours then I did, only soaked for about 3 hours and although it is a bit more salty than I would like its ok.

Also I think my next go round I will put a little more smoke on it and take it to a little higher internal temp, instead of the recommended 140 I may go to 160 because this is a bit chewy.

I was really surprised how little cure went on the meat it hardly looked like it was enough but it did the job, thats why I did not soak it as long as I should have just didn't look like it needed it but I was wrong on that.:icon_clown
