Been awhile sense I've posted anythin...anyhow I just got done curing #10 of pork belly for bacon. I had followed Bearcarver's bacon cure here ->http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/96761/smoked-bacon-step-by-step-with-qview

I cut my pork belly into 5 pieces that weighed #2's each and seasoned like so:

1. with Light brown sugar

2. Dark brown sugar

3. BBQ rub - Should be interesting

4. Pepper

5. all natural with nothing added

Todays temp is around 58 degrees and windy....hoping for an 4-6hr smoke with my new A-MAZE-N-TUBE-SMOKER.

Picks

Great start!!!

That link is one of my first bacon smokes.

I have a couple since, that are easier to follow than that one.

Can't wait for your final pics!!

I am really interested in your bacon with the rub. Please make sure you let us know how it cooks up!

Ok pick of the bacon wraped up after a 9 hour smoke, I'm going to let it rest for 2 days before slicing.

Looks really good! Wish our stockpile was a bit lower so I could make some more!

I will!!... I have a couple test subjects in mind

The rub I used was jeffs-naked-rib-rub, Like I said it should be interesting....I suppose you don't know till you try.

Or even better, a wise, sage smoker tries it first and lets you know!
