If you are just starting out curing and smoking bacon, I would use the easy method in the Morton Home Meat Curing Guide. It can be bought on line for a few dollars. I would also use Morton Tender Quick dry curing mix. No mixing, just 1 Tablespoon of mix per pound of pork belly. After curing, be sure to wash the pork belly and soak for an hour or so. That is a newbe error, the bacon is to salty. Smoke for 3 - 4 hours in a low temp, 225 or so. I leave the skin on, but that is just a preference. Remove the skin before cutting.

Have fun.
