First back bacon (freaking awesome)

[redneck5236]

Couple weeks ago wife brought home a pork butt and said have fun ! Some went in sauerkraut some made into snack ham that I previously posted ! And then about six pounds for my first attempt at back bacon ! It came out absolutely outstanding ! Cured with tender quick and brown sugar for 12 days flipping and massaging every day . Rinsed then dried and back in refrigerator for a day . Coated one piece with coarse black pepper. Coated two pieces with maple extract and brown sugar left since for a couple hours up to room temp. Friday morning was 18 degrees here in western pa. Had to use the hair dryer to jump start the mes40! Started at 160 degrees increasing every so often up to 270 degrees pulled the bacon at 163degrees lt cool some then hand sliced a fief pieces and fried for bacon sandwich for dinner . Was freaking awesome! Sliced the rest on slicer this morning .

Looks like it turned out great.
You made Buckboard bacon, Back bacon is from the loin - AKA Canadian bacon here in the states.
