250# of pork belly?!!!?? Are you teasing me? Sounds like you are going to have enough of bacon for the nearest future..... Don't forget to post some picks when you are done with smoking...

 

[maplenut]

Holy $#!t, that is going to end to be ALOT of bacon!

What kind cure are you looking at doing?

 

[SmokinEdge]

Wow, that is a project. Most I've ever done at once was 60 pounds, and I discovered that the easy part was smoking them.
The hard part is having to slice and package all that. Hope you have a crew to help you.

I break it up into three days of smoking and slicing/packaging. Got a commercial Hobart 1612 slicer and a Vacmaster chamber sealer. I do 4 pounds worth into the sealer bags.

What’s the smoke process? Just curious.

Cold smoked using AMAZN smoker tubes in three Masterbuilt electric(non) smokers.
