I'm using a combination of a basic cure for bacon and my own choice of seasonings.

Kosher Salt
Cure No. 1
Brown Sugar
Thyme
Sage
Garlic
Black Pepper
 
Pulled the pork bellies yesterday and gave them a rinse and a soak and then another rinse.

Dried the pork bellies and let them rest inside the refrigerator until this morning.

Here are the pork bellies hung and ready for smoke!!!
 
Good deal, I have brined before.  Might try a dry cure.
 
Thanks for the info!! I have heard a lot of good comments about that brine!! I'll be posting a picture in a few to show the bellies after 11 hours of smoke!!
 
Great, looking forward to the pics.
