Looks good so far, how does it look sliced up?
How did it taste?

Never done a Butt for bacon, only bellies.  I would also be very interested in some money shots.  Looks good so far.


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

Money shot.
Tastes great.  I have never had butt bacon either.  I think it turned out pretty well.

Looks like we have a winner.  I am going to have to try this.

That looks really good - I think that I'd be happy if my first attempt looks half as good.

I do a lot of Butt bacon. But use my own recipe. Me and the wife prefers it over any other bacon we have ate. Not a lot of fat but a lot of flavor. I slice pretty thin for bacon. But if you want something more like Canadian bacon,or ham try it a little thicker. It does taste different the thicker you slice.

Once you make your own bacon you will never go back. Nice looking bacon  ;)

Thanks again guys.  It tastes really really good.   I've got some belly curing for the nest smoke and going to do some more butt bacon in a couple weeks.
