It would be around here!

[classicrockgriller]

Beats my price.

I would take it and run like the proverbial thief in the night!

I would give them their $54 grab those bellies and run like you stole something and the cops are coming!!! There should be lots a BACON in your future. Cut the bellies into Bradley rack size and vac seal then freeze, they freeze well.

That is an excellent price around here. I have to pay at least twice that and that is considered a good price. Also I would have to buy the whole case which I think is around 60lb.  Where are you at?

[KyNola]

I have a source for bellies locally but the issue is I have to buy them by the case. 10 to a case and each belly is approximately 11 pounds.  I have a chest freezer but that's a LOT of bacon!  It's also not $.90 per pound either.

10.5, you got an estimate of how long pork bellies will freeze and still be good?

Thats a good price, $.90/lb is just under what I've been payin.

Last case, 110 lb, I bought took just over a year to consume and I only made it into bacon as I needed it. Each 11 lb slab was sealed in its own bag when I got them. Couldnt a diff from the first to the last slab.

[KyNola]

Thanks for the info 812 on how long it would last in the freezer.  That's good to know.  May reconsider now!

Go for it brother.

If I lived closer I'd go in half with ya.

[KyNola]

Thanks 812.  I'm thinking 110 pounds of bacon isn't totally absurd for two people in the house is it? :D

Depends on whether you substitute BACON for the jalapenos in ABTs...  ;D
(I'm pretty sure that's what 10.5 does)

Thats only 1 pound per person per week. I don't think it is nearly enough to sustain you for a whole year Kynola. Better get two cases!!!

Hal it is all in how you wrap the bacon around the cheese!!!

Split three ways with Hal and Stc.

I wonder how low of a temp we could run the Stumps at...   We could do all 110 pounds of bacon at once!
