Smoked up some belly a few weeks ago, finally got around to tasting. Smoked to 150* with KBB and apple wood. Followed Bob Correll's "Bacon made easy" before going on the smoker I coated in brown sugar. Couldn't have been easier!


Half way, I had to peek!

Sliced by hand after resting in the freezer.

Cooked some up for a BLT dinner.

Plated with some slaw and cottage cheese.


Turned out awesome! Very sweet, like Pig candy! Not salty at all like some have experienced. Wife and I thought it was the best bacon we ever had! If I can find a place to get it around me cheaper is going to be hard. But I'm still hunting!
Thanks Mr. Correll!
 
Looks great! Just picked up a 7 lb pork belly at the farm for 2.79 a pound. Going to start mine tomorrow. I might add the brown sugar again like you did right before i smoke it.
 
Now that's a BLT!!! Outstanding bacon!
What temp did you run your smoker at?

Thanks guy's it was fun and like everybody else has said, it was the best bacon I've eaten.

It was cooked at around 160's, tried to keep the smoker around 140* but it was little windy that day.
 
Not only is your bacon beautiful, Tim; I can only imagine how good it must taste! It's also nice to see 'hand sliced'. I ain't throwin' down for a slicer...
