I'm starting my first BBB tomorrow using Todd's recipe. Been putting it off but the local market had butts for $.99/# today so I found a deal I couldn't refuse. Glad your's came out well. My wife is skeptical of anything I cure, except jerky, but she is not a big fan of bacon anyway, so it will probably be ALL mine.
