A week in the cure(or until belly is firm-I've had them be 5 days, 8 is the longest), a day to air dry in fridge, and a few hours of smoking time.

CT, when I make the Ruhlman recipe I usually soak the cured belly in fresh water before smoking. After the soak I usually hit it with some cracked peppercorns and maple sugar, then onto the egg w. apple and hickory. I usually soak for 1-1.5 hrs and change the water 1-3 times.
