Aloha,
In the next few weeks I am planning to do my first Buckboard Bacon. I think I will go with a dry cure using the basic TQ, sugar,garlic powder, onion powder, cbp mix on a 4 lb butt.
After the curing is done in about 8-10 days, I am to rinse off the remaining cure off the butt and soak in cool water for an hour or so, then let it dry before smoking. My question is: in the curing process, will the onion powder/garlic powder/ sugar / cbp be infused in the bacon, or will I need to reapply prior to smoking?
Another question has to do with hastening the curing process. If I had 4 lbs of pork butt cut into 1/2 inch thick peices of varying lengths, using a similar dry cure above, how long would it take to cure?
Thanks all
