Got a question. I have searched the forum for the answer and probably just overlooking it. I have read that to make buckboard bacon crispy when you fry it you need to add butter or oil. Is this true or will it get crispy all by itself?

You will need to add some kind of fat to the pan...   BBB from the butt, has very little fat on one side of the blade..   Try broiling on a wire rack in the oven...   In my opinion, BBB is a cross between bacon and Canadian bacon..  It's good but different....
