First bacon

[Ed Crain]

So first try using Bears TQ dry cure with brown sugar. Started with a 5lb belly cured 10 days cold smoked 6hrs with apple pellets

Looks awesome. I'll be smoking my first Canadian bacon this weekend using bears tq and brown sugar recipe

This one I used Morton’s tender quick dry cure since I couldn’t find cure #1 locally

Just to try different methods or was there something you didn't like about the TQ method? Just doing R&D for my first attempt coming soon.

Nice job on that bacon.
Funny thing is I have to use Cure because I can`t find Tender Quick.
