Just got back from the butcher to pick up my hog. Ended up with 24 pounds of belly for bacon... All this bacon talk around here has me pumped!
Also had one whole front leg and shoulder kept whole, can't wait to smoke that beast!

Wow, that's really cool! I've had a meager two pounds of soon-to-be bacon
dry curing for five days and I'm jazzed, but 24 pounds? Fuggedaboutit!

Congrats!

It means I better decide on my cure recipe quick ;)
I'm thinking most I'll just do TQ, brown sugar and some black pepper. I was gonna maybe do some with TQ and a bbq rub but I'm not really sure how that'd be... Anyone ever make bacon using a rub they use on butts or briskies?
