This was so good, I have another 6.5 lbs to start curing.

I used the Ruhlman recipe for the cure, recommended by a lot of people here http://ruhlman.com/2010/10/home-cured-bacon-2/. I smoked it low, around 160-170, for about 2 hours, then raised the heat up to around 200 until the meat hit 150. I think the total smoke time was 3 or 3 1/2 hours. I used apple wood. I only used a couple of chunks and the flavor was good but next time I will be shooting for a bit more smoke.

Definitely better than store bought!
 
MMMMmmm....Homemade bacon Rocks!! Nice Job!
 
Wow that sammich looks awsome. Can't wait to try it myself. Did you use the pink #2 salt.

I used the #1 salt. First time I ever cured anything, so I was just following a recipe, definitely not an expert at this.
