    I cured the belly for 12 days.  What I did different this time was I smoked it to an IT of 145.  I had a couple of slices of bacon for breakfast this morning, and it was the best tasting bacon that I have made so far.

    My wife’s brother and his wife are coming for a visit this weekend.  I was informed by my wife that I am cooking something on the smoker for dinner.  With that in mind, I went to the freezer and pulled out a 3 lb chuck roast.  I also bought three pork loin fillets, and two steelhead fillets...
