Bacon from pork belly?

Posts: 615
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been on the forum. Hope everything's going well.
Last night I watched the episode of Good Eats where AB makes bacon from pork belly. He brines it, dries it with a fan and cold smokes it for 6 hours.
Is there a way to do this in the Egg without setting up a cold-smoking device? I'm thiking of trying this and doing it indirect over a very low temp, maybe with ice in the drip pan.
Has anyone tried this?
I know of a coupe of local Asian/Lation markets that have pork belly (also, head-on shrimp, whole red snapper, cheap skirt steak and other goodies!)

ice pan and a couple lit briquettes placed thru the bottm vent should work finefukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

try searching for smoking cheese. I think that is a cold smoke method and folks here do that on their BGE

The smoked cheese method looks pretty good. I've done that before, but it's been a long time.
I might buy some belly this weekend and try smoking it next week.
