The only trade-off I see with Buck Board Bacon is that it can be a little tougher to chew than belly bacon especially if you like your bacon towards the crispy side when fried. But the flavor is about the same as belly bacon.

Never seen it like that before.

Rich got you covered. It is made from Boston butt and cured the same as belly.

Cure up a pork butt like ham , then smoke it like pulled pork . Shred it and it's pulled ham sandwich . Pretty good .
