Trying my hand at homemade bacon today. The pork belly arrived on Thursday from Porter Road. I put it in a solution of pink curing salt, Meat Church Honey Bacon BBQ rub, fresh cracked black pepper and Wild Turkey American Honey whiskey. I flipped the bag twice a day until I took it out and rinsed it this morning. I then applied a fresh coat of the rub, and it's now on my Oklahoma Joe's offset at 225 degrees until it reaches an internal temperature of around 150. Please note Mr. Bones that there is a pot of beans underneath to capture the drippings. I'll update with my results later.

I love home made bacon. Make it all the time. Usually have 5-10 pounds in the freezer. But I’ve never put beans underneath while I’m smoking the bacon. How did I not think of this???? You are doing it right!
