I use the Morton Tender Quick curing salt method.
*1 TBLS / lb. TQ.
*1/4 tsp / lb. Turbinado sugar
*1/4 tsp / lb. Course ground black pepper
*1/4 tsp / lb. granulated garlic

Rub each pcs. of meat with the proper amount of mixed seasonings.
Place the meat into a non metallic container, or Ziplock bags. Into the fridge.
Turn meat / Ziplock bag over once daily. 10 days / inch of thickness.

I do a quick cold water rinse, padd dry with paper towels and let the meat rest
over night in the fridge -uncovered-

Use your favorite wood flavor and smoke until you reach 140*/ 145* internal temp.
Let meat cool, vacuum pack and and freeze for later use.
Great when fried for breakfast with eggs. Or fried to make B.L.T. sandwiches.
 
That looks delicious. How is the flavor compared to belly bacon?

I have never used the above recipe on belly bacon. I believe belly bacon (fresh)
at Costco was $3.89 /lb.

Imagine cut bacon with a nice peppery and a hint of garlic taste to it.
We like it.

In fact,my good wife just bought some more pork butts at $0.99/ lb. So i deboned one. i always wanted to try the Hi-Mountain BBB seasoning from
Cabela's. She asked me to leave well enough alone.Don't fix it if it isn't broke.

I ended up with 2 pieces of butt, rubbed both with the proper amount of
Hi-Mtn. I took 1 and added the pepper and garlic to it. After curing and smoking them, we will do a taste comparison on them and decide which
recipe to follow.
