I needed to make a new batch of bacon, so off to the butcher for pork bellies. I make about 30 pounds at a time. This is the amount my smoker can easily handle. I got the pork belly home and started the prep work. Here is how the belly was wrapped.

Has anyone made Red Chinese BBQ pork? The real stuff that you get in a Chinese restaurant. I have tried to make it following at least 10 different online recipes, but it is never the same texture or flavor as the BBQ pork in Chinese restaurants. This time I'm going to cure the meat with Tender...
