    First attempt at bacon

    Got the shoulder rubbed in the cure and in the fridge last night. I am using the Buck Board bacon cure from High Mountain. Any tips or things I should know? I only did about 6 pounds for a first run to see what it is like. In 10 days I'll smoke it, slice it and fry and see how it is.
