    Teddy2019 I have done it with overly salty bellies after smoking, but found I wasn’t able to reduce to where I wanted. My solution was to soak the individual strips. What I have found that works for me is to test fry before smoking and keep the soaking process going until I reach the level I am satisfied with. Keep notes of what you do to help your learning curve.

      What cure would I use to get a traditional bacon flavor? I don’t really like maple bacon etc. I can pickle, dry rub or inject. I am not picky about process. I just want something similar to what is offered at stores.

        Rlane420 Either the Dry Rub or Brown Sugar Cure for pickling and add Bacon Taste Booster for an injection or brine

          How many bellies can I do with one batch of cure. You refer to ‘bellies’ inferring more than one at a time. I get that as long as it’s 10% injected and covered with 50% brine your ok…right?

            Gary mudge yes, you have it exactly, enough for a 10% pump, 10 lb of the solution (water, cure and additives) will make 100 lb as an injection and then you need enough to cover it in a 50% strength solution. Good question!

              Using the injection method, does it hurt to leave the bellies in the fridge longer than overnight. Sometimes life happens and just want to know if it’s ok.
