For sure, stay tuned it should be all ready for its rest by this Sun.

Phil,

when you say rest do you mean cure time? my belly comes from Costco as well and I have them in cure time (dry rub, rotating daily)  typically 7-10 days depending on thickness. looking forward to the end result

Yeah my "rest" was just the time in the cure.  Probably a bad way to put it.  Once the belly was done in the brine I did rinse it and let it rest on a few drying racks in the fridge for about a day just to thoroughly dry out before smoking.  Hope that cleared up my bad terminology.

Phil,

Thank you, not a problem, that is what I thought. it was just clarification more for someone following this that has not done bacon before and wanted to start.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  I've got used to following someones methods and never thought about someone following mine.
