21# belly

[SmokinEdge]

Have this one and a 14# to cure for Christmas time. These are untrimmed and we shall see the final cure weights. Will be delicious bacon.

Excellent start, I'm in for the finish.

That appears to be a full side cut. I would love to get that cut for breaking into a few pieces including a belly cure.

I'm in, too...

Got my big tub of buttered popcorn and a cold 12-pack of barley pops. I'm in for the ride.

Not sure what you are after, but I started the belly thread first. I had planned on smoking them mid week, but had these Black Forest hams finishing in cure first so just decided to smoke it all today and have two different threads on the different products. Didn’t make sense to add the hams to the bacon thread. Hope it’s not all confusing. Pictures were of both in the smokehouse but that was just because they were smoked together.

Sorry didn't see you had posted on the loin thread.
Makes sense to make separate posts.

Here's the correct link to the sister thread on loin ham.

Slice shots from just one of the bellies.

WOW that is just some beautiful bacon and ham. That last shot of all the lines up slices is astounding. That was a thick and very meaty belly. I’ll be that is insanely good.

So now I'm drooling...

Great bacon.
That's enough to stock my freezer for a year.
Don't eat as much bacon after son moved away. He would be raiding the freezer every visit.
