Just put the cure seasonings on the belly pieces. 7 days in the fridge and then rinsed, patted dry and 24 hrs in the fridge on an open air rack. Then on the pellet grill until 150* internal temp. 6lbs as it is
I’ve done that a couple of times. Last time I cold smoked it, it was better I think. But have to be a lot more careful, or that botulism stuff will get you.
I’m thinking about doing more Canadian bacon. It’s really easy, just use a pork loin
I just finished making Buckboard Bacon yesterday, Jot smoked it to 147 had some for supper tonight, Wasn’t the greatest and I’ll be making some changes next time. I don’t have anyplace to get belly’s around here so I have to use Boston butts. By the time I smoked it to 147 then put it in the skillet it was like eating wood, to dried out.
