I am starvin' and in the wrong place!  It looks great, and is killin me!  Love bacon!!  I sure hope our second run looks half as good.  I went to a conference past weekend, went wild with my thoughts came back and bought 3 whole pork bellies.  Now, we have 40lbs of belly curing in the frig.  I am trying to learn more about the "smoking" process. Our first run was just one belly, and we did it on our grill, which will not work for "this much".  Think we are going to convert our old pump house into a smoke house and experiment with the "old timey" underground pit/draw method.   Where do you get the hooks for the bacon? Amazon have them?
 
Thanks everyone.

I was having a hard time finding the belly, lots of the big markets like (publix & kroger) wanted me to buy a case. Hard to put a case in my RV fridge. Then i was at the Piggly Wiggly in Pooler and low and behold there were belly. Meat manager said OH we have them all the time. Next buy im going to but the whole slab.
 
Looks good Rick..

  The local Piggly Wiggly here is where I get my bellies and butts..a great place...

We are retired military, and are able to get ours at the commissary for a "really good price". They are untrimmed, and you have a little extra fat, but I just save it for grinding sausage, or this time, I slow boiled it for the lard and made a few cracklins.    Nepas/Rick? you might check the Hunter or Ft. Stewart Commissary. Ft Stewart gets their delivery every Tuesday.  You can buy one, or this time, we bought a whole case. I think it was like $1.89-2.00 #  Not sure how much they are in the real world other than the meat market wanted $2.79#..    Just thought I would share :-)
