Well I fianally found a place that carries pork belly's. Someone here once told me to try an Asian market. Go figure why would my American stores just laugh when I ask for them, but my little Asian buddies have any part of the pig you want? SOOOooooo I still have a ton of BuckBoard Bacon cure left.The only other time I made bacon I used a butt. Turned out nice, but now I have a real pork belly. This is going to be the longest 10 days. I have 3 belly's so I'll probably do 2 of them. Give one to the neighbor(gave me about 10lbs. smoked salmon, some one from a Jewish deli owed him money so he paid him off with smoked salmon, and he doesn't even like it)and keep one for me. The last one goes in the freezer.

They do have pork bellies at our local butcher here. I'm glad you found one! can't wait to see how well it comes out! I've been wanting to try it!
 
Great find!
I've been looking for pork bellies in our mega-marts to no avail. My wife leaves my side when we approach the meat dept. She's embarrassed when I start questioning about pork belly.
Thanks to your advice, I will try our Asian markets next.
Good Luck on the bacon!
 
yeah..........asian........or mexican....are good places to ask for pork cuts that are hard to find anywhere else........basically......any ethnic grocer i would check out.......be surprised
 
I've done the buckboard with a butt, but hav'nt messed with pork bellies yet, going to have to try. Good luck.
