Leaning tower of pork belly!

[iceman]

Miss Ann said this R&R she wanted to see the leaning tower so being the good kinda guy I am I made one for her.  :)
All 65 lbs. of it.





Finally thawed out enough to cut up.



Used 10.5 maple recipe X 12 to get it all curing. Now we wait a week and into the smoker.







To be continued  ;D

And I thought I had gone big with 13lb's of belly, that looks like it's going to be tasty. I love 10.5's maple recipe as well.

That's what I'm talking about!  65 pounds of bacon goodness.  You go Ice!

[Dano]

That looks great!  I just put some cure on 20lbs of pork belly with a bit of pure maple syrup and some brown sugar.  Looking forward to 17 days from now when it will be triple smoked over apple wood and ready to eat.  :)

Now that should keep Miss Ann in bacon for a day or two!! Looks like a really good start Iceman!

[iceman]

Update folks.
Got it in the smoker for a 3 hour run with apple.



About 6 hours later in the "SPA" and it was ready to take a break.



On deck and ready to start slicing after chilling out a bit.



Looks like BACON to me!



Vac packed some treats for a friend.



Thanks Chris [10.5] for sharing the recipe  :)

Wow! For a moment there I thought I could smell and taste it! A true pro! Wish I lived closer.

Looks like it turned out great iceman! That's a load a bacon! Making my mouth water  :D

[Tenpoint5]

[ragweed]

Very nice indeed, Iceman!!

[KyNola]

HOLY CRAP!  How awesome is that for a load of bacon.  Nice going!

[Saber 4]

That is some really beautiful bacon, my hands hurt just thinking about that much hand slicing!
