They look nice from what I can see in the pics.  Around here that would be a good price.

Can't wait to see you finish up!

Good luck and good smoking.
 
Omak I have been trying to get Belly`s around here for over a year. A friend of mine told me about a guy in a very small town about 18 miles from me that made custom sausage that I did not know about so I contacted him and he was able to order it for me and he told me anytime I needed any to just call him...You might try some of these small guys around the back roads...

We have the same situation here Dave, no butcher shop in this county.

I think the only way I can get them is to drive at least 1 hour away & buy a full case.
 
I have a pork belly in the freezer but not doing anything with it until I read up a bit and see how this is done.

Have you checked with Publix? They will bring in whole hog so I'm thinking they would bring in some pork belly if requested. I know some store, depending on the demographics of the neighborhood, carry fatback and such.

Put the TQ on this morning...see you in 9 or so days..The only thing thats going to be on this bacon is smoke.
 
Well its been longer than 9 days but no problem...This is all loaded up with Hickory and Cherry pellets ready for the bacon. The smoker is holding at 89*. Guess I am good to go...

Its been smoking for 8 hours and the pellets are just 1/2 burned...and the temp has not gone over 98*. No added ice or anything...The temp should start dropping back down as the outside temp is starting to drop...
