Damn, I had several comments but decided it may be best to refrain. Darn PG6 rating.

Dealer's choice 

[NRA4LIFE]

Looks good.  Do you have to buy the whole belly?  How big was it?

Frozen belly, 14.8 lbs. kids thought it was gross that the nipples were still on it. Oops, can I say nipples?

Which brine on that link did you end up using?
Also, looks like you added pepper after the brine was washed off?
Heavy peppered bacon is the family fav with maple being way far down the list.  So, did you use maple in your brine?

Maple bacon with pink salt. The black pepper stayed on even when the brine was rinsed off. Not much in the way of maple flavor. Next batch is going to be more pepper for one chunk and more maple for the other. Love playing with tried and true recipes.

Looks great.  Has that slicer been good for you?  I've been pondering purchasing one as I can't quite pull the trigger on a commercial unit as it takes up too much counter space. (found one at an auction for 300 and almost pulled the trigger but talked myself out of it at the last minute.)

Never tried a wet brine for bacon always dry

Slicer works pretty good. The handle that you hold to keep the meat pressed against the slice could use some work. Not enough teeth to hold the meat firmly. Works pretty good though. Bought this one from a member here.

Is it as good as my meat on your grill?

[stevemiller]

I understand that pork belly is the meat but could someone diagram that on here.is there actually meat on the belly of a pig?that looks delicious by the way.

[snowpack]

Is this the kind of diagram you want?  They forgot to label where the sausage came from though..

[stevemiller]

ok so all the meat between front and rear leg and below the center line of the pig is for bacon.thank you sir ive always wondered that.

[pens fan]

That slicer sure looks familiar!
