I've made about 50lbs in the last year for myself, and about a 15 lb batch for a family that picks my kids up from school most days. It's easy, satisfying, and the end result is soooooo gooooooood. This has become my favorite recipe, but I also make just brown sugar black pepper smoked, too:

After the fridge curing, I rinse off, and right on to cold smoke for a few hours. I also add extra pepper to the brown sugar bellies, and extra paprika and red pepper flakes to the above recipe. I substitute molasses for the honey in the linked recipe.

I've done 70# this year. If you are doing more than 4-5lbs you would be best to find someone with a meat slicer. It's easier than you think, and the end result is amazing if done correctly. I suggest substituting sugar for salt in most of the recipes or you will have to soak after curing to get ideal results.
