About 30+ lbs of belly in 3 gallons of Pop's brine. Replaced some of the brown sugar with maple syrup this time.

I anticipate that I'll probably make one or two more batches over the next few months, as I still haven't convinced my friends (even the ones with their own smokers) how easy it is to make for themselves.

A neighbor was moving and wanted to get rid of an old fridge, so now it sits in my garage, and I have plenty of space for bacon, and soon a prosciutto, I hope. 





These will get smoked up a few days after Thanksgiving. I took the whole week after off from work, so I'll have plenty of time. Thinking of adding some peach to my usual mix of cherry and corn cob pellets.
