Best Hot Smoked Bacon method **maybe a good link on the site**

I have been researching making bacon and know I will do the hot method because I am not equipped to do cold smoke. There are so many different cures is there one go to that many Brethren like? Process used from beginning through curing to cooking? Also, do you season again after curing with something maybe just like pepper on the outside?

Appreciate the coming flood of "This is the best smoked bacon recipe"
