    My First shot at Bacon

    The cure recipe was for a 5 lb. belly, mine was just over 3 lbs. and called for 7-10 days curing. In your experience, is it acceptable to use a recipe and time in the process of curing that is for a larger piece of meat? Or is 2lbs. difference negligible?

    Central California Smoker

    Lodi. I BBQ my tri-tip on my Weber Kettle indirect. I use a traditional Santa Maria Tri-Tip Rub on mine. I'll post the recipe tonight.
