Recently Costco had a nice sale on pork belly. Making bacon is fun and easy. I used the youtubes links below in combination to create my own ideas..

I cured one section with a sweet heat and butt rub in combination with crushed garlics. I am going to make bacon burnt ends with that next weekend.
For the other section I used sage like the chud video and it was plenty salty at 2.5%.
I used a brisket knife to do the slicing and smoked with applewood to 150 internal.. plastic wrapped and cut next day. Breakfast potatoes are a great use of the bacon fat!

Your slicing skills are impressive. Also.. is that a Victorinox? I think I have the same one.
