oh yes, it was AWESOME.. I'm trying to get the picture to google.. i was drunk by the time i got at this stuff on SUN night.

it took me a while to get the heat low enough, but once i got it there it was good.. prolly about 2.5 hours at 200ish

~ 7 pounds on SAT. it has consumed all of being. I think i'm even goto bed early tomorrow night in anticipation.

only hard decision left is what to drink while we smoke. I'm open to any suggestions for BBQ meets beer.

Gave my rig the once over this afternoon.   Picking up 7-8 pounds of belly this week.  smoking on 4/20.

lookin pretty good there - pink salt in the cure ?

[jme]

oh yeah... I have pink salt / white salt / sugar mixture that I still haven't run out of yet.   and I have more pink salt for when I do.

 

those little pieces are prolly my favorite way to eat this stuff.  It's more about the taste and texture of the pork belly than the application of bacon, for me.

 

two of those guys went right into the freezer.

when you run out, if you are interested, i know a place in the city where you can get it without the pink color.

be careful, you can get lost in the store for hours, and that's just on the hot sauce wall
