I've got 26-28 pounds of Niman Ranch pork belly due to arrive the 10th(haven't found it locally yet).I want to be sure and not mess up since shipping was one third the cost! :o
What are some favorite cures and time/temps?Wood type?
I've got the OBS and the Auber PID.
Thanks a million!

Also this link contains some belly bacon recipes:

With that much bacon you may want to try a variety of things. If you have the time the triple smoked bacon is great.

Here's a nice recipe for fresh roasted pork belly:

As search of the internet will provide you with a ton of recipes, you may even want to try some Pancetta; which is very easy to make.
