Belly Bacon & Bacon on a Stick Finished

[tropics]

Finally found a decent looking Belly slightly over 3 lbs.

Skinned and deboned

Didn't leave hardly any meat on these bones

Another shot

Belly shot not to bad

Mixed the cures for both seperately


Will wait maybe a week for the sticks & 2 weeks for the belly

John I know what you mean I like to do my post all at once also,like yours with the step by step.If I didn't make breakfast I may have forgotten to finish this one.The Bacon on a stick was used like a Ham for Bean Soup.So I made Hot Dogs to keep the bacon company in the smoker.Thank You Brother
