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

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.)

looks great  whats the smoke flavor

I used hickory on this batch. Apple is going to be used on the next. Pork belly going in the brine this weekend for smoking next weekend

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.
