Title: Bacon Week
Post by: NorthShoreMN on June 05, 2013, 09:41:57 PM
Smoked 4 slabs  of pork belly Monday.  Two using Bradley Maple Cure and Two Basic Cure. 
The two on left, thin ones, are from a North Dakota producer. The two on right are leaner
and thicker. They are from a Canadian producer.. Local meat man can order either 3-4 sides
per case.  First time using the Canadian pork, thought it would be worth a try.

Wednesday stuffed a boned pork shoulder that had been cured Canadian bacon style using Habs recipe.  That was in
the smoker for about 5 hours, 2 hours smoke, and removed at IT of 150F.
Hope to slice and package tomorrow.

That stuffed pork shoulder looks good. From the camera angel the shape of the shoulder looks like you smoke/roasted a piglet.  :)

Looking at the bacon I would go with the stuff from the Canadian producer on the right. Get a bigger end product. Ie. Bigger wider slices of bacon
