Pork belly at my Asian Grocery butcher = $3.99 a pound. Salt, brown sugar, pepper. Ten days flip flopping it in the salt. Then load it in the smoker for two days.
Whole slabs of bacon with zero nitrates or chemicals. I have a Hobart Deli Meats slicer. I slice what we need and return the rest to hang in the basement. Oh my is it fantastic!
