in Pork
This is my second batch of homemade bacon, roughly following the AmazingRibs recipe (but I reduced the added salt and brown sugar, and added a wallop of hot kashmiri chilli powder and fresh garlic). It's a 4 lb hunk of belly without skin, wet-cured for about 3.5 days.
Out of the cure:
Onto the Egg:

Finished (I ended up putting the smoke tube on the coals)!!!

Letting it cool down - will break into it tonight for dinner!!

Very nice!
Have cured bacon twice, and don't know why I don't do it more often. Its so damn good.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
It took me forever to get around to trying it, but I'm glad I did. It's easy and delish. Kind of satisfying too. Especially if you can find decent belly at a decent price (I found a 10lb slab at Costco for $23).
