    Well the bacon is out. Will let it cool awhile. Anxious to try it though.

    As long as the smoker is going might just as well do some baby backs. Hmm, late supper tonight.

        Bacon time. Round three. Used the EQ method again. Seven day cure. Some hickory smoke today. Perfect morning, temps in the mid 40’s.

                      Thanks all. Couldn’t have done all this without this community. So much knowledge here.

                      Final taste is wonderful. I backed off the salt percentage by . 25% from the last run. Think I hit my sweet spot.

                        Really happy to hear that you got this nailed down.
                        It feels pretty good to be in control of the finished product. 👍👍👍

                                  I’ve started to read maybe a quarter or a third of this thread.
                                  I’ve done over 55 pounds of Duroc pork bellies starting in January of this year in a wet (not injected ) cure and I’ve not had a single bad comment, on the contrary quite the opposite.
                                  I now have 2 whole Berkshires bellies and 1 and a half Duroc pork bellies in a brine now.

                                  I always wanted to do a dry bring bacon, BUT AFTER READING THIS early on for a bit, I think I’ll stick to my tried and true !

                                  Denny O Nothing wrong with staying with what works and you like. I have not made bacon yet but is on my to do list and I read a lot of posts that have trouble with the salt content.

                                      Using the Digging Dog farm calculator. It’s default setting for salt is 2%. Prior batch I used 1.75%. Went down to 1.5% on this one. About perfect for me.
