Savory Maple Bacon (homemade)

SirPorkaLot · Mar 4, 2021

Chunk of skin-on pork belly.

Cured with 2% sea salt, .25% cure, 1/2 cup of maple flakes.

In fridge for a week curing, then hung in chamber for another 10 days.
Cold smoked it today on the Shirley with cherry wood.

It’s better than I expected

It was 30F here. That’s a lot of cold steel.
I put a few hot coals in the firebox with a couple of pieces of cherry kindling, it never got above 100F in cook chamber

That deep red looks like my air dried & cured pork products.

Gorgeous! While slices are usually the star of the show, my first thought went to some of that chopped up into some beans.
