Just smoked this huge rib belly. Bacon for months! Cherry and peach wood with basic cure of brown sugar, kosher salt, and pink salt.

Do you guys wash your cure off before you smoke?

    Yes wash the cure off. Didn’t do that once and the bacon was too salty for me. Plus all the flavors had time to soak into the belly.

  2. I’m impressed you were able to hand slice all of this, what a grip.

    Wash off and leave in fridge overnight. I cut mine into 2-3 pieces for different flavor crust.

    Did you slice that with a knife, pretty even

    Would you mind sharing the process? I’m interested in making bacon but haven’t done any research yet
