I am trying the buckboard bacon recipe for the first time. I just got done deboning and putting the cure on. The deboning did not go as well as it could have and I decided to cut the butt in half. I ended up cutting one half in two(seemed natural) so I ended up with three pieces. It seemed like it took a lot more cure to cover the three pieces than the recipe called for. I guess only time will tell whether I screwed up the recipe or not.
