So my wife got me 5 lbs or pork belly for christmas and i never looked at it very closely. she just showed me the package in the freezer and told me what it was. i look at it now and each piece of belly is pre-stripped into 3/4" strips. i was planning on making bacon with it.
so my question is: how does this affect the cure? does it not make any difference? does it speed things up (i would think)?
i plan to tie it together when i smoke it. should i tie it together before i cure it and pretend like it isn't already all sliced up?
