Here is my dry cure recipe, feel free to use it if you wish

Meats	Gr/Kg
Pork belly	1000
Cure #1	2.125

Coat the entire outside with dry cure.  Place in a ziplock or glad bag (no Chinese bags) for 5 days for each inch in thickness.  Remove from bag rinse then soak in cold water for 30 minutes.  Remove pat dry and hang in a cold dry place for overnight.  Cold smoke with maple or apple pellets for 4-6 hours.  Hang for a minimum of 1 week.
