    This looks delicious. Any recipe or link to how/what you did? I’d love to try making my own bacon.

      Np link since it’s a home recipe, but happy to share!

      1/3 Cup Brown Sugar 1/2 Cup Black Pepper 1/3 Cup Kosher Salt 3 Tablespoon Paprika 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder 1.5 Teaspoon of pink curing salt

      We use these ratio per 5 lbs of pork belly.

      We cure the meat for 4 days in the fridge, and usually once or twice a day flip the meat / rustle the meat around in the cure.

      After 4 days we smoke the cured meat on a wood pellet smoker. We smoke it at 200-225 degrees Fahrenheit until it probes at 15g degrees Fahrenheit.

      From there it’s good to slice and fry / bake as you please. 😁
