buckboard is the finished product.......was this finished?

buckboard is normally made from the butt/shoulder area........

in fact cold smoking some at the moment
 
From what I have read, Cottage bacon is made from the pork butt. It is brined cured and then cold smoked it then needs to be cooked before it can be used.

Buckboard bacon is also made from the pork butt. BBB is dry cured, then smoked starting with a cold smoke and gradually increasing the heat until the internal temps of the BBB is 162 degrees. Once finished, BBB can be eaten as is or sliced (thick or thin) and then heated in a fry pan.

Your welcome, dude.

When we did belly bacon, it was brined pumped and then placed into the brining solution for up to a week. Placed into the smoker at 120* for 6-8 hours and then the smoker temps bumped up to 180* 'til the internal temp of the bacon was 160ish- samething with the Canadian bacon. Apple wood for the smoke.

At least your lab rats are well fed!
