Buckboard Bacon
I have been wanting to give this a shot as the shoulder is always cheaper than the belly around here and it just plain sounds so good. I started off getting a couple of slabs of shoulder nice and trimmed about the thickness of belly bacon. Three pounds between the two.
2016-08-04 18.14.14.jpg Into a gallon sized ziplock with water, salt, pink salt, pepper, brown sugar, molasses syrup and cayenne. 2016-08-04 18.18.02.jpg Chilled in the fridge for 10 days turning and rubbing daily. Rinsed off the brine and on to the Weber with some hickory around 210°. Chicken thighs for salad and linguica for snacking too. 2016-08-14 12.43.49.jpg I pulled the bacon at 145° and let it rest for about a half an hour then got it cooling to slice then threw some burgers on for lunch. 2016-08-14 14.47.56.jpg Of course I had a taste right after the rest to make sure it was good...fantastic! 2016-08-14 15.18.55.jpg Seems I nailed the medium burger as well with a couple of nice, thick slabs of bacon I fried up in a pan with a smearing of tzatziki sauce because I had some to use. 2016-08-14 15.38.42.jpg All in all I think it was a success. Perfect amount of salt with just a little sweet and a nice bit of heat. It tastes good and that is really what matters. Thanks for checking it out. ~T

Great idea! Sliced pork steaks instead of doing a whole butt. That looks like the way to go for a first time try which I'm going to soon.
