BACON!!!!!
Pork Belly cured 7 days with curing salts and maple syrup. Washed-dried-peppered and hanging out uncovered in the fridge over night.
Hitting it with smoke at 200-225 fat side up until internal of 180...probably about 4-5 hours.

Re: BACON!!!!!
Method has been adapted from a book called Charcuterie by: Mark Ruhlman. He has a pretty interesting segment in there about weighing salts opposed to measuring them. Apparently not all salts are created equal. His articles suggest a 3:1 ratio of kosher salt to Pink curing salts.
Put a nice rub of your salt concoction on the pork belly and place it in a ziplock inside the fridge for 7 days...rub it once a day...the maple syrup is something I'm trying for the first time.
After 7 days take it out and wash all the salt off with fresh water and dry. I opted to additionally air dry in the fridge over night this time just as an experiment.
I got the belly for 2.49 a lb. at the Pearland Costco.
It's on the smoke now, I'll update with pictures as it goes.

On the home stretch.
Opened for a temp check and to add some chicken I'll be eating on throughout the week...bacon temp was 165...guessing it'll be another hour or so until done.

That is very lean bacon.
Doesn't even look like bacon does it? I must try this.

Re: BACON!!!!!
Cut it as thick as you like, leaner on the ends and more like bacon you buy from the store as you work your way inward.
