First try at Hillbilly Bacon

[HSC5690]

This is what I have done so far...........I bought a package of pork butts at Sams Yesterday and today I deboned them, rolled the meat up around the cut pieces where I deboned it and cut each of them in half making 4 pieces of meat weighing 3.5, 4, 4.25 and 4.67#'S.  I mixed up the cure by weight for each piece of meat using the Hillbilly Bacon recipe from the recipe section and rubbed it into each one and then put into gallon zip-lock bags. I have them resting in the refrigerator now.  Hopefully I have the right so far.  Any thought would be appreciated.
Sorry  I forgot to take pictures.

Love hillbilly bacon. Sounds like your off to a fine start. My wife won't eat regular bacon any more.

If it comes out anywhere as good as the Canadian Bacon I did this week I will be very happy.

Well I had to smoke some of Mike's Kielbasa Sausage last night and so I pulled a couple of the Hillbilly Bacon to try as I still had room in the DBS.  I put them in the fridge on Saturday with the cure so they only had 4 days of cure. I smoked them for 3 hours and then pulled them and sliced off 3 or 4 pieces before putting them in the fridge to rest.  The flavor was great.  I brought some of it in for the people that I work with and they all loved it.  Can't wait to get home tonight so that I can finish slicing it up and actually seeing what the bacon looks like all sliced up.

I will definitely be trying this again.
