..............wish we could get belly here.........I'm watching all these belly bacon threads in the hopes belly will come to Omak............I'll be prepared for sure.......

They look nice from what I can see in the pics.  Around here that would be a good price.

Can't wait to see you finish up!

Good luck and good smoking.

Omak I have been trying to get Belly`s around here for over a year. A friend of mine told me about a guy in a very small town about 18 miles from me that made custom sausage that I did not know about so I contacted him and he was able to order it for me and he told me anytime I needed any to just call him...You might try some of these small guys around the back roads...

We have the same situation here Dave, no butcher shop in this county.

I think the only way I can get them is to drive at least 1 hour away & buy a full case.

I have a pork belly in the freezer but not doing anything with it until I read up a bit and see how this is done.

Have you checked with Publix? They will bring in whole hog so I'm thinking they would bring in some pork belly if requested. I know some store, depending on the demographics of the neighborhood, carry fatback and such.

Looks good! Can't wait for the rest of the shots.
Good price too!
Wish I could get belly for $1.99/lb...

Its been smoking for 8 hours and the pellets are just 1/2 burned...and the temp has not gone over 98*. No added ice or anything...The temp should start dropping back down as the outside temp is starting to drop...

Fried Catfish, Shrimp and Beer for supper !!!
