Be sure to do a Fry-test for salt.
I do one every time I cure something, and the only time I ever had to soak anything to get rid of excess salt was the one time I used High Mountain Cure & Seasoning on a BBB.

I thought I posted a reply, so this may be a duplicate. This was is a pork belly, did the other half last week. I did soak it for 6 hours, added crushed black pepper then smoked. We have a large Mexican Super Market in town, the belly was fresh, just delivered at less then $2.00 a pound(with skin, which I remover.)
Soaked it for 6 hours???
BBB usually comes from Boston Butt or Picnic shoulder.
Cured & smoked Belly makes Bacon.

Yes that is what I am making, bacon , their instructions state "Buck Board bacon cure can be used to cure regular side meat for bacon"
I guess I misunderstood the term "Buckboard Bacon". I bought the Buckboard cure kit and thought it was that companies name for their cure for bacon. As I read/learn more I see that the term for Buckboard Bacon is more of a style of bacon. Thanks for all your knowledge and post. I am learning.
Glad to help.
Now I'm waiting for the money shots.
I love seeing nice slices of Smoked BBB.

The first photo is the Ortech controller I replaced on my smoker, much much better, then the smoked bacon, then sliced, then fried up a taste. It came out real good..except I may should have taken it off at a lowed temp. The plant I uploaded by accident, but van you see the "rabbit." Thanks for looking.

Good looking bacon. Only fair to warn you, you will not be buying commercial bacon much longer.
