Did i screw up my bacon?

Btw, the brown patches are normal, and left alone will turn beautifully red when hot smoked. It’s all good.

Well I just got the bacon all sliced up and sampled and you guys were right, it turned out great. I used a blend of pecan and cherry this time which is a lot milder on the smoke than the hickory was yet still super tasty. Also really like how much less salt there is compared to the store bought stuff.
Thanks again for all the coaching guys, really appreciate all the advice. Cheers

That is some great looking bacon
I’ve got a belly curing now and I hope it turns out as good as yours

That bacon looks great. Good meat to fat ratio.
