    How to cut Buckboard Bacon

    It is necessary to chill the bacon before slicing... I like lanceR's method of getting the meat to near freezing then slicing.

    Dry curing temp?

    While that is a very good article for tender quick... skhunter is using Hi Mountain BBB cure so he must follow directions for his curing method. The directions in the article is basically the same I have described above.

    Dry curing temp?

    Since it is on the thicker side... follow the directions and flip after 5 days and use the full ten days... I usually flip every day and massage the package getting into the crevices spreading the cure (juice) to make sure all exposed surfaces get covered equally.  and I don't think an extra two...

    Also from the site... "After curing, remove meat from pan and soak in water for 1 to 2 hours. Drain and rinse with fresh water, making sure excess cure is removed (rinse cavity thoroughly). Pat dry and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour. Shape meat, tucking in edges. Place meat on...

    Dry curing temp?

    From the HI Mountain site... "Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. Proper temperature is 40 to 45 degrees F. Let meat stand in refrigerator at least 10 days, turning on the 5th day." .64 oz to a pound is what it called for... amount for 8.5 pounds would have been 5.44 oz.. keep...

    I have tried both of the bacons that I made and to my tast the TQ BBB is far better than the bacon made by useing the Morton's smoky sugar cure.   Far less salt in the Tender Quick method.

    Just made the crackling's ...  they were gone before I could take the pic.  They were GOOD! Cut the skin into small 1\4 inch chunks, placed them in an iron skillet, pizza pan on top into a 350 degree pre-heated oven for 30 min.  Fine vittles.

    How to cut Buckboard Bacon

    It just depends on one's taste... I like against the grain and thin sliced.  I think most slice against the grain.  Like woodcarvers photo, looks like bacon.

    To bad there is no "smellovision"... smells great. On the left we have bacon cured with Morton's smokey sugar cure... cured according to the Morton's book. On the right we have bacon cured by following Bearcarver's step by step tutorial, with the skin (underneath the bacon) removed to make...

    Ok, so I found out the answer to my salt question... It does NO GOOD, soaking the whole piece of meat before smoking.  I did this and did little to change the overall saltiness, it was better but not enough.  I smoked the meat and after cooling I sliced off several slices, soaked them...
