Buckboard Bacon ????

61chev · December 2010

I have done buckbard bacon several time and have very good sucess. I use porl loins soak them for 10 days in a sealeed freezer bag then rinse and soak in water rinsing twice then dry in fridge over nite. Yesterday I did this and it took 3+ hours to get to 150. Today Iam doing the second one and it only has been on for 2 hours and it"s 150 already. Has any body had this happen or how long does it usually take everyone else?

Yes, to answer your question, I have had some butts that smoke pretty fast and others that seem to take forever. Just the difference in pigs, I reckon

:laugh:
FYI, I also use Hi-Mountain and have had great results

Call me the odd ball, but I like the Morton sugar cure the best. I have 21 pounds of pork butt that I started curing 12 days ago soaking right now, and will smoke tomorrow

you can also buy the pink salts separately and make your own differently flavored cures. just a thought. the high mountain cures are great, but they are like instant cake mixes too. meaning, you can buy the ingredients separately and tune them to your tastes.
