I've found the best source for the pork bellies is Brookshire Bros., they can order them with the rind removed. Allow 1-2 weeks for ordering.

Are you smoking them and if so how long?

[JES]

I will, they need to cure 7-10 days. Will cold smoke for about 4 hours.

I just started a little batch myself

We started a smaller batch a little over a week ago, got it hanging in my little smokehouse overnight and will smoke first thing in the morning. Here's a before pic:

What do they charge per pound?

What do they charge per pound?

I got this case for $2.99, but he said the new price is $3.49. Case usually weighs 50-60 pounds.

Reminds me that I need to get busy making another batch. Finished off the last package from my most recent 50# batch.

FYI...if you have a Costco nearby they keep pork belly in stock and most recently was priced at $2.79/#.

Rind on or off? That's a good price.
