    Making Bacon. 1st time

    Bellies I have been getting are usually right around 20. I have been cutting them into 5lb slabs. Works great. Last ones I got were $1.59, which was a great price. Living in hog central (Iowa) doesn't hurt!

    The meat was the key. This batch came out really good. Going to invest in an amazen smoker though. Hard getting good smoke with my Masterbuilt Propane at lower temps. This 20lbs should last a few days. ;)

    New batch od 20lbs. Did this with Pop's brine. Have them hanging with a fan on them to dry for a bit. I added black pepper after curing. On the smoker soon!
