Wow Huey that looks awesome!  Did you cut it by hand or through a meat slicer?  Those are nice straight cuts.  I have a pork belly in the fridge myself.  Will be ready to smoke in 3 more days.

Looks great as always dogtuk. I do the same thing with cutting by hand. Two or three slabs then the slicer coming out. Costco belly prices went up in my area from $2.29 to $2.79.  Still worth it for the end result though.  ;)

BTW I still haven't tried tender quick  :dunno: just haven't. Maye next year  :chuckle:  ;)
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

 I just bought a smoker and the same pork belly. What is tenderquick and where do I find it? Am looking at trying the same thing and maybe some pepper bacon as well. Any tips and advice are much appreciated since this is my first time with a smoker.
