No slicer needed. Just put in the freezer till kinda hard and use a sharp knife. If you only saw chefrob's knife skills...........

i don't even put it in the freezer................confusious say, know your rib knife!

ya know i have a berkel commercial slicer in the garage that i have not even used for bacon.

How is it before frying, Yes I am one of those people, the ones that like to eat it right out of the pack.

I have 2 whole loins in the fridge now curing for CB, and was trying to figure out if I should cold smoke or hot smoke.

Well this is was  belly bacon that has been cured and cold smoked, it still needs to be cooked. For CB just use the same recipe and hot smoke it to 140. I like to eat my CB cold also right from the bag or on a sandwich. If you like it really smokey you can cold smoke it for a few hours before turning on the heat.
