Just starting out on the meat smoking journey and clearly copying every Youtube video I have watched! I bought a whole hog from a local farm which yielded 50 lb pork belly . I dry aged this with just salt for 21 days, then wet cured for 7 days in #1, brown sugar and a little more salt. Now it's in the smoker using a mixture of apple, peach and cherry woods. I have the smoker set at 195F and will smoke the belly for 6-8 hours. Any help and information is very welcome!
