Going to make bacon with SRF belly, looking for curing and smoking recipes You might have used that were good. Just did a black pepper, cherry smoked that felt like it needed e smoke.

Can't go wrong with the Ruhlman recipe. I use this all the time with excellent results.

Try giving an extended dry time after the cure, a couple weeks overall , i cold smoke , weather permitting I do in over several days , not continuous, but over night, then in the fridge or left out if cooler weather 

my go to is 2.25% salt .25% cure 1 1.75% brown sugar .5% juniper berries.25%garlic powder .13% onion powder.25% thyme .15% bay leaves .5% Calabrian pepper

smoking was a by product in Northern Europe where they lit fires at night not to cure but to keep the protein from freezing , fires would go out and relit the next evening …the extra gutter step of during the belly really deepens the flavor

I go with a modified Meathead program.  Don't be afraid to cold smoke!
