Everybody and their sister was makin bakin and I wanted to be cool also!
Found a 5 lb belly at Fareway for just under $15. Make brine, rub on, bag up up, seven days, yada,yada.
Unbag, rinse, put in cold box overnight to form Pelican.
In 'lil smoker at 200* till internal of 155* Pecan chips every 45 min.
Out, wrapped, and in cold box overnight.
Peek- a -Boo!
Squaring up the blocks.
Test fry.
Test eat, Mrs. said "It's really good, but I have to keep chewing"
Being cut by hand it was still a bit too thick, so went up to borrow the farm neighbors slicer, (game changer). 1/6 th in. slice cooked up perfectly.
As everybody always says, "easy, never going back to store bought"!
