I just applied the Rhulman cure to a 6lb butt for 9 days. It cured through. I also added maple syrup. I smoked with alder and maple.

    That looks incredible!  Hot smoke or cold?

    This is coming shortly for me.  My son and I are breaking down and curing a pork belly later today, but I was blown away when I learned you could make bacon from a pork butt  - they are lots easier to get than Pork Bellies, and the fat/lean ratio should be healthier.  

    Does it need to rest a few days before cooking or can you cook and eat it as soon as you slice?

    This is hot smoked to 140. It cooks up really nice. I'm sorry no pictures. I let it rest Friday night to mid day Saturday and also smoked this with alder and maple.

    I don't. I'm sorry. I cAn tell you it cooks down by about 50%, the faces are bright red and rosey, and the edges turn near black. Very attractive on the plate.
