Thanks everyone! Excellent site.
 
Looks good, be sure to show us some pics of it sliced..
 
They are wrap and put in the fridge for over night....BUT i did try a piece of each...oh my...ate the pieces before the wife could get the camera...HA

one of the 2 i injected some maple syrop...both are really good!

my smoker is a home made one, having some issues with the propane burner..it's too big..i'm picking up a smaller one tomorrow night, should do the trick!

oh ya, the wood i'm using is maple!

I think were all waiting to see the sliced shots. Interested in knowing how you liked the syrup injected one.
 
I liked the idea of injecting syrup let us know how that turned out.  I bet the maple smoke was awesome.  Those little end pieces are great snacks.  Great job on the smoke.  Make sure to post slice pics.  Again great job. 
 
Sorry guys for the delay...got side tracked..finally for around to slicing/packing it up this morning. Turned out great!

Now about the maple injection....yesterday i was 50/50..today i'm like 75/25....It was ok yesterday...better today....it's alright...But i think I personally like it better without the maple syrop...the other was AWESOME!

Finally got to try my new foodsaver..works great!

Check out my slicer :-)

The one on the left is maple, the other one had just a little too much fat in my opinion!

There was a little bit of maple, not has much as i would liked to have had....I'm thinking next time is the inject the maple syrop during the curing period but i'm not sure if that's ok or a no no. Anyone care to say?

Took some of both to work...a lot of people loved the maple one!

It won't hurt anything.
I tried it on a Belly one time---Got very little Maple flavor, if any. I decided it was a waste of good Maple Syrup. Saw quite a few agree.

Like I said, it won't hurt anything to try, but I'd save it for the pancakes.

I am going to have to try me some back bacon...did you use an online recipe for curing it? I am guessing the smoking part is very low temp (180*?)due to the curing cooking it partially already?
