I prepared some bacon last night using the appropriate proportions of cure #1, salt and sugar based on the dry cured bacon calculator.  I added no additional seasonings to any of the packages and vacuum sealed each one.  My question is .....If I want some maple, brown sugar or pepper to be added to flavor this prior to smoking, when should I add it?   I am planning on smoking with apple.  My guess is that since the thickest slab is about 2 1/2 inches that it will take about 12 days to sure out. 
 
Black pepper should be added after rinsing and prior to forming the pellicle.... since you have added sugar, I would add molasses to the bag now... wouldn't take much.. a TBS or 2... molasses is where the brown comes from in Brown Sugar..
