I am new to this and my first attempt at doing bacon:
I have a pork belly cut into 1/3's, rubbed and in vacuum seal bags flipping every day. I understand that to be for 7 days.
I have the same in a brine mix solution. I have also injected the brine into the meat. I understand that to be for 3 to 5 days.
1) Can you over brine the product???
2) Can I leave my bellies in the brine solution until my rubbed cure ones are done and smoke all at the same time???
I am using a Smoking It #4 unit with Hickory and Red Alder at a 50/50 ratio.
Thanks in advance
