Just ordered some cure, I can't wait for it to come in so I can try it. I think I'm gonna try a loin and butt so i can see which I perfer. Maybe even slice the butt in 2-3 inch thickness and make a peppered one too. Hmmmm so many good choices...

Anyone know if this stuff is sold around here in central MA???

High Mountain Buckboard Bacon Cure

$9.00 for s+h on 2 packages seems real high, this stuff must weigh a ton.

If you have a Cabela's around they might have it, or stock it if requested. I've picked up Hi-Mountain kits at the Ft. Worth store before.

I used a $99 dollar slicer from Bed Bath and Beyond worked great if I sliced across the butt however was to short a stroke to do it lengthwise. I cut the first one in half made virtually two squares then sliced from end to end the second I sliced form side to side looked as good ?

Joe I deboned two butts and they seamed to either shrink or swell to where they acted like the space where the bone was had filled up?

Thanks Thirdeye your information gave a feeling of confidence to just roll with what happened and it worked.
