Hello, I have been a long time lurker of this forum almost borderline stalking... I have been smoking and cooking whole hogs for a long time, thought might as well get into doing pig parts too. This is my first time attempt at some BBB. I used Morton's tender quick,light brown sugar and black pepper. I put them in the smoker for 6 hours with Hickory chips and chunks. Char-Broil Propane smoker..
 
Welcome to the forum and thanks for the pics. That's some fine looking bacon!

Welcome to SMF and that bacon looks good how did you like the outcome anything your gonna do different next time?
 
Howdy, how long did you let the BBB Cure?. Dont get me wrong, it looks really good but, it almost looked like you applied the TQ and seasoning just prior to putting in the smoker and I am just trying to clarify for any newer people wanting to make bacon the right process. Welcome from MI.

thanks for the nice words... I live by Caro and when I do another batch I'll use more sugar or dark brown. I let it dry cure for 6 days.
