Buckboard bacon.

[Jason Noble]

Was at my local outdoor store and came across the buckboard bacon cure and decided to pick some up. I deboned a butt, applied the cure and let it sit for 10 days in the fridge. Saturday I rinsed and soaked the butts while I went to the store.

Let the pork soak for 4 hours then dried with papper towels and tied up.

Started the WSM using the Minnion method. Used one chunk of apple and pecan wood.

Smoked the butts till they reached 140. Removed and let cool overnight in the fridge.

This morning I sliced the bacon and made some breakfast.

Bacon had a nice smokey flavor but was a touch salty for my taste. Next time I'm going to soak the meat overnight. Definitely more meaty than regular store bought bacon. Thanks for looking!

Not sure if I have a preference between the two. Both are good just different. The BB is more meaty and has more smoke flavor.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
