<![CDATA[Some EQ Cured Duroc Bacon (3 flavors)]]>Started these on 7/27 and meant to go 14 days but ended up closer to 21 days using the EQ method. Some of this likely came from my inability to properly label the “Out” date on each package (thanks beers).

Anyways these are Duroc bellies that I did as a plain, maple garlic, and maple chipotle flavor. Am currently smoking them with applewood and plan to take them up to 138-140F or so since I’ll cook them post slicing.

Local grocery has Wright Brand hickory smoked bacon for $4.99/lb. Probably should have stocked up as that s”is best commercial bacon ever and cheaper than my meat cost!

I still can’t believe I can buy bacon at Costco cheaper than bellies.

Would have more curing if bellies weren’t $5.49/lb at Costco. Big ouch.

your slicing looks good

Only thing I can take credit for on that is buying the Globe G12 slicer 🙂

I sliced the Maple Chipotle with the grain as many say they prefer it that way (figured I’d try it). If I had not it seemed a bit wide for my slicer to fit against grain. Had that issue with the Plain one as well as it was maybe 3/4" too wide so got a few odd slices when trying to even it up.

Will cook some up tomorrow when I vac seal/freeze. Threw a few off cuts onto my pellet smoker while making some wings and brats so will try in a bit.

Looking good. Did I mention that some of us are awaiting the aforementioned sampling?

LOL think I saw that mentioned. Will likely slice this weekend and do a sampling. Really curious if the maple syrup added much in the cure.

Gave them a cold water rinse and will let them dry a bit on counter before stashing in firdge a few days to mellow before slicing.

Just plug belly weight into calc and weigh out cure, sugar and salt. You’ll be surprised at how little it takes. Rub it down and toss in a vac bag for 14 days turning every day or so. Takes maybe 20 minutes. Once done just dry in fridge a day or so and smoke!

Of course being on this sight I don’t think I will ever get everything done as the list keeps getting longer by the day as I keep seeing and reading about great things I haven’t tried yet.
