Let the games begin. 9.8# monster, cut into three 3# slabs. One little piggy got the maple treatment, one little piggie got Asian, and one got pepper and coffee rub. Calculations say 8.4 days in the wet cure and then I’ll cold smoke them in my BGE/mailbox rig. I don’t expect to eat and share them before we’re back to some semblance of normalcy — counting on this project to soften the blow of more voluntary (and state mandated) house arrest while we try to ride out this storm. And I’m just fine with that. I’m counting my blessings, painfully aware of how fortunate I am to be busying myself with this project rather than facing the horrible suffering so many are confronting.
Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy! (And egg on!)
It's a 302 thing . . .

This has the makings of greatness- the side view of the cut belly looks awesome.Thanks for sharing and love the idea of 3 different cures. Can’t wait for the finish.Greensboro, NC

Related - if you've ever made pork belly burnt ends using this from SRF - there really is no comparison. I've found they come out miles better than say the pork bellies from Costco."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

3 big piggies out of fhe cure. One piggy got pepper, one piggy got togarashi, and maple piggy got none. Resting now before cold smoking (hopefully tmw).It's a 302 thing . . .

SRF has the best pork bellies I’ve found anywhere. Perfect for bacon!

Into the box go the piggies. Got a beautiful day for it. And it’s already beer o’clock!It's a 302 thing . . .

If you prefer longer slices you can get the belly very cold (semi frozen) roll it up and slice it on your slicer. I have a 10” slicer and can cut full belly slices off using that method. Keeping it really cold keeps the slices uniform thickness.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Brunch. Burp. Bacon worked out pretty, pretty good. (The short 🥓 length turned out to nicely cover the sweet potato candied jalapeño hash browns!)It's a 302 thing . . .

It’s really more like folded in half than rolling. Like a giant bacon taco. Mmmm bacon tacos.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
