Making Bacon/Pork belly

[tpack]

This was my first attempt at curing a pork belly and making Bacon. I cured it for 7 days and smoked @ 200 for about 4 hours till internal temp of 160 degrees. I placed in the fridge over night and sliced today. I do not have a slicer so I cut in half to make the slicing easier. The taste was amazing to say the least. A 29.00 dollar(12 Lb.) pork belly yielded 10 lbs. of sliced bacon and 1.5 lbs. of ends and pieces for beans. I have a pork but curing for Buckboard bacon next weekend. Enjoy!!

Looks great. If you make anymore look into an inexpensive or used meat slicer. I found a small used one for $10 locally...it's old but gets the job done. Not only did it make the job 10x easier, uniform slices make for more consistent cooking.

I’ve heard of the buckboard bacon but never tried it. Anyone have a recipe to share?

I have 3 pork butts in the freezer.
