        So you cured it?

      Congrats mate, you will never go back to buying bland store bought bacon again. Been making my own for around two years now and loving it. I have found that leaving it in the fridge for 3-4 days before eating it seems to work best, lets the smoke mellow into the meat. Wrap it in paper towel and foil, changing the paper towel once it looks a bit moist & it will keep for at least 4 weeks in the fridge. That's if it lasts that long haha

          I need to get in on the bacon wagon. Maybe this winter.

            Me too Jerod Broussard. I have never tried this. Perhaps because I was once at a very high end restaurant that offered pork belly for a starter prior to my main course. The waiter recommended it so I ordered it and for $20 and was brought the grossest fattest, (and I mean no lean at all) half cooked piece of s**t I have ever seen and expected me to eat it. Been reading about making bacon recently though and have seen it done here, so I think I am about ready to give it a go.

              Sorry for your experience, but I did get a good laugh. I've done pork belly burnt ends, but have seen Gordon Ramsay cook a belly and it didn't look too appetizing, lotta pale meat begging for Maillard.

              ? Made any yet. If you enjoy bacon you got to make homemade.

            Need to get on board my ownself. I read a post somewhere on here this week about makin’ bacon, looked up Meathead’s recipe. I’m like y’all, it’s always looked like undercooked fat to me. Gotta try it though after this post and the other one.

              So, you didn't hang it...did you flip it during the cook? Smoked to 150 degrees?

                I did not hang it nor flip it, 150 degrees is correct. Used apple wood this time, trying maple on next slab.

                  Make the maple syrup bacon. It's so good.

                  Also try it with Molasses instead of maple. I think it's even better! The molasses takes on a richer smoke profile in my opinion.

                I use Mesquite mate, bacon likes a lot of heavy smoke imo
