Does anyone have any recipes or methods for making bacon on the PBC? Mine is unmodded so I’m looking for traditional method/temperature recipes if possible. Thanks in advance!

Recipes for bacon

This is the bacon I prefer. It is from Kent Rawlings Cowboy Cooking. I've never done it in my PBC but I don't see why it would be an issue.
I like to slice it a little thicker than the average thick cut bacon prior to curing. It allows for more surface area. Because I do this I modify the way I smoke it from the recipe but the general idea is here. If you do it my way Do not fry it. With the sugar content it will burn. Bake or smoke it at 350* on a baking rack until cooked to your liking instead.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 3 days 6 hours 10 minutesIngredients- 3 to 4 pound uncured pork belly skin off
- â…“ cup kosher salt
- ¼ cup apple sauce
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Red River Ranch Mesquite seasoning or favorite pork rub.
- ¼ cup warm water
- Trim excess fat from the pork belly. You can keep or trim off as much as desired.
- Place the pork on a flat baking sheet.
- Place the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well.
- Pour half the marinade over the top side of the pork and rub all over with a spatula. Flip the pork over and repeat with the remaining marinade.
- Cover and place in the icebox for 3 days. After 1 ½ days, flip the pork over, recover for the remaining 1 ½ days.
- Remove the pork from the icebox and rinse all the marinade off.
- Place the pork on the counter for about 45 minutes before smoking to let it warm.
- Place two large handfuls of hardwood lump charcoal in a smoker on one side of the grate. Light the charcoal and when it turns white add 5 to 6 large pieces of chunked apple wood.
- When the applewoods catches fire, close the air vents and place the pork on the indirect heat side of the smoker. Shut the lid and cook for 1 hour.
- Flip the bacon over and cook for about 1 ½ hour or until the internal temp is 145 to 150 degrees F.
- Remove the pork from smoker and place on a wire rack on a baking sheet and let cool for about 1 hour.
- Cover and set the pork in the icebox overnight before cooking up to eat.

Current grill collection:
WSM 18.5
Weber kettle 22.5
Weber Genesis Silver B
I've made Meathead's recipe many times, mostly the Maple Bacon version. This is a "hot" smoke.
I usually cook it on my WSM but I don't see why you couldn't use PBC, it works great at any temp between 225-275.

If you use the calculator correctly, the amount of pink salt (PP #2) is relatively small compared to the other ingredients. I use a .1 gram scale to weigh my pink salt (and also salt/yeast for baking)
