Hello All;
I am asking for some advice. Bought 10.75lbs pork belly yesterday. I removed the skin, square it off and cut into 3 pcs. I made a rub of the following;
2 1/8 tsp.- pink "Internal Curing Salt" from Pittsburgh Spice And Seasoning Co.
Sea Salt @ .25 oz per pound(2.75 oz)
Brown Sugar @ .35 oz per pound(3.0 oz)
Juniper berry and black whole pepper
Vacuumed in seal-a-meal bags in refrigerator
Planned to leave for 7 days then cold smoke for 6 hours in a Master forge propane smoker using a "A-mazen-smoker" generator without any heat.
QUESTION; Am I ok with this? Is the cure right for this technique Is the smoke time ok or too long?
Any advice that can be given to this rookie would be greatly appreciated.
