On my bacon I use onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper after the cure is done. I let it sit in the fridge for a day before smoking. What kinds of spices do you guys use on yours?

Thanks Ed
 
normally I don't add spices before smoking, I add them before I cook it that way I add what ever i'm in the mood for that day, usually garlic, black pepper, never tried cayenne may have to give that a try
 
I typically make two different flavors: maple & brown sugar and pepper crusted. On both, after they have finished curing and I get them well rinsed, I add more of the flavorings to both, let sit in the fridge over night as you've done, then smoke the next day. I follow that routine with all the meat I cure except Canadian bacon.
