I'm over the road driver, gone 3 week and home 5+ days then gone again. I like homemade bacon but by time I get it made it's time to leave. Trying to come up with plan to smoke on day I come home. My wife doesn't like to work with the pork belly. A. Could I freeze belly, then season it, vacuum pack it, back in freezer, 1 week before I come home wife would move it into frigidaire. Then smoke it when I get there. Kind of a bacon kit, thaw and smoke. B. Do the cure process, rinse it, vacuum pack, freeze, thaw day before I get home and smoke. Smoking it and freezing doesn't work, my family really likes it to and it's long gone before I get back. Thoughts?
