This has to be the best bacon I’ve made yet. 2 full pork belly’s from Costco, cut into 4 pieces and cured.
Cure consisted of – salt, pepper, curing salt, brown sugar, maple syrup and some fresh chilli flakes.
Cured for 6 days, washed off and dried overbook the fridge.
Smoked for 2-3 hours and rested overnight.
Even with the amount I gave to family and friend I still enough for a couple of months 😃🥓

I do almost the same exact process and it’s incredibly popular with friends and family. It’s just sooo much better than store bought.
Probably so good
Did you leave the skin on the belly?
Talk to me about how you slice it?
What flavor pellets did you use?
I do the same every few months. I’ll buy a big slab of pork belly from Costco, cut it into long pieces, brine it and smoke it for about 8 hours. It makes the best quiche!
The best use for a smoker in terms of quality results over what you’d get from a store and relative ease to create. Many steps, but they aren’t complicated. Love it.
