[smokin for life]

Well times up.... I smoked the belly's at 180 untill the internal temps. reached 150. I throw in the sausage just to fill up the smoker a little. I'll be trying it tomorrow morning.

Hopefully it'll taste ok. I never used pork belly's just butt's. I'm getting tempted to just slice off a little piece just to see how it turned out.

Ok so I have no will power... I tried it and all I have to say is OSCAR MEYER watch out. I really like it. Hey once again I want to thank Ya'll for helping me. Never in a million years would I of thought I'd be making my own bacon. You guys & Gal's are great. I kinda like pork belly better then butt for making bacon. (Hahahaha listen to me go). It has a better taste, maybe it's the fat.(hope my doctor never finds this place). Ok so what's next to smoke??

Where did you find that belly..and what process did you use to smoke that bacon. I would like to try one..

I got the belly's at an Asian market. They will sell you ANY part of the pig. I rubbed it with Hi-Mountain Buck Board cure, Wrapped it in plasic wrap and stuck it in the fridge for 10 days. After the 10 days I soaked it for 1 hour, changed the water and soaked it for another hour. Pat it dry, I wasn't ready to smoke so I wraped it again and put it back in the fridge. Today 1 hour before I set up my smoker I took them out and let them get to room temp. Got the smoker up to around 190 and without smoke for the first hour in they went. After the 1st hour, started the smoke. Smoked untill the internal temp. reached 150. Da-Ta, now I have Hickory & Apple smoked bacon. The hardest part is the 10 day wait for the cureing. You really should try it. But remember "NO Q-VIEW, DID IT REALLY HAPPEN"?
