          Agree, bacon sounds daunting, but it could be one of the easier meat processes out there. If you have a slicer, you have the hardest part of making bacon whipped.

              Pulled the trigger today. Asked if they’d do better on price if I took the whole side. Yep. From $4.49 to $3.99. Never hurts to ask.
              I’ll consider this a win win with the prices now.
              Besides, I really want to try this. 👍undefinedundefined.

                Costco here carries them and presently at a reasonable price. Looks like you have a Costco near you in Thornton, but not sure what they carry there.

                      Check out the food markets in Little Saigon there in Denver. They will probably carry bellies and other tasty things you don’t find in regular G stores.

                                OMG that looks so good. I’m in Texas and I sometimes get offered a “wild hog.” I am very wary of such offers for a variety of reasons, but one of my sons hunts and said that wild hog is absolutely delicious. Have you ever had a wild hog and made bacon from that belly?

                                Warrenlc57 living in central Texas I could get a trap full of wild hogs any time i wanted, but from my experience I will only eat the 40-60lbs. I know people that will deal with the larger ones, but the smaller ones when smoked whole are truely delicious.

                                          PapaSop glad to see you made a great product. I usually make one covered in coarse cracked pepper. Sometimes an extra soak or two will help remove some extra salt. If you like it spicy try some jalapeno or red pepper in your rub.
