hi peeps I'm trying out the bacon recipe in the main site an just want to be sure i havnt gone wrong .
my slab of pork belly was around 2 pounds so I used 2/3 rds ingredients an used the calculator for Prague powder but am I right in using 2/3rd the stated cups of water?

Yes on the 2/3 cup of water . Personally I would go buy more pork belly and make a double batch. It's so good it won't last long. here's a pic from bacon I made Monday.

I believe the total liquid for 3 lbs is 1 1/4 cup. I had 2.8 lbs of belly so I calculated (1.25*2.8)/3x solving fo x gave me 1.17. One of our bacon gurus confirmed that was correct and then you plug into the calculator for the Prague powder and bribe period.

Making bacon in Jackson Hole? I can't think of anything more manly than that.
