My first stab at slab

OK, here she is:

Out of the cure and after a one day resting period

This is a slab right before going into the smoker:

Here's how they look out of the smoker:

And here is a slab that I cut in half for smaller pieces for BLT sandwiches:

And since I hate not having anything to do, I started a loin for some canadian bacon yesterday as well:

Just had by far the best BLT with smoked Habanero cheddar sandwiches I've ever had in my life.

Store bought, no more.

Yeah, Making your own belly bacon has that effect on you.

Welcome to the "No Commercial Bacon" club.

We've been expecting you!

Nice job on the belly.

Nice nice nice SD,
Looks great. After trimming and all, I have 19 pounds of belly curing in the frig. Don't ever let any of your friends taste your bacon. As soon as I mentioned I was going to do bacon again, I had 5 people asking for bacon, including two guys who had never tasted the bacon before.

Your bacon really looks good. Your family must love you right now.

Very very nice. The good news is Lipitor prices seem to be coming down...hold tight, will be there shortly SDuck ;)

By the way Duck, I am the guy who told you not to do the bacon as your family would not settle for anything less. ;D
