Pork Belly Bacon ?? Help please!

Meeko's Crew · March 2011

Hi all,
Just picked up my half hog at the processor. I've got 4x5# hams in cure that I need to smoke and Half of the belly as well.
I want to smoke the hams to be frozen for later (will use for sandwiches etc..
Also need to smoke the belly to make bacon.

These guys are already in cure, I just need help on cooking instructions. Thanks.

Thanks!!!!
Any thoughts on how to cook the hams? I just picked up the hog at the processor and I got the hams in 4-5pound pieces no bone. They are curing in maple brown sugar wet mix.

I'll probably freeze most of it after I smoke it and then thaw and have slice ultra thin for sandwiches.

I have only cured two butts and 10 pounds of bacon this year so i'm not all that well versed in curing and smoking...I will leave you think link to thirdeye's site.
