I saw Costco has pork belly.  Anyone have any experience cookin em?
The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Cure for bacon or look for the pig tails thread posted today. Good start there.

    I recently made bacon with a 1lb partial slab.  Coated with salt/br sgr/pepper into a ziplock bag and into the fridge for ~2wks.  Pulled it out, dried it off put it back into the fridge open for another 2 days, then onto the egg, indirect 190 for 3hrs with large chunks of hickory, pulled it, cooled it, sliced it, fried it (well a couple of slices that night -- DANG good (see the thread BaconBaconBacon)

    Another option is to order a box of buck board bacon cure and follow the directions on the box makes great bacon from pork butt or pork belly.

    The Costco pork belly I've seen has no rind on it. Cracklings are my favorite part so I've never bought any. It might make good bacon though.
