Made some bacon and a burger.

Last week I was at the asian market when I noticed they had pork belly on sale. I picked up a 2 lb piece and cured it using Bobs recipe. For smoke I used cherry.

I used my kettle and cooked the pork at around 200 till the meat read 150.

Don't know if I'll ever buy grocery store bacon again. This stuff is meatier and just overall better tasting. One of the best burgers I've had in a while.

Now that's a burger!

 

[Jose Suro]

Looks fantastic. I really need to look into this.

 

[Ethan G]

Looks good!!!

I just picked up about 6 lbs. of belly last night, makes a nice Christmas gift for close friends instead of a plate of cookies. You are right, it is a different thing altogether than grocery store bacon.
