Hey all,
I put a pork belly into the fridge to cure last Saturday noon. Used the dry rub cure and honey directions in Kutas' book, except I used locally produced maple syrup rather than honey. It says to leave it cure for about 6 days.
Question, I don't want to be smoking bacon Christmas Day (I want to be eating bacon Christmas day
). Anyone see a big issue with pulling it out of the fridge and putting it on to smoke a day early? Is the 6 days allowing for some wiggle room or is it a hard and fast minimum? Anyone done this?
Thanks all,
Mark
