Made buck board bacon today

[quadrafire]

That reminds me, I need to order some more.  This also works great on whole pork loins.  They will cure in about 7 days.  I'm going to give this a try on a couple pork bellies at Christmas time.  Can't wait.

Where do you get your bellies?

Thats all there is to it. Now go get some Butt and some loin

[Hornseeker]

he looks to be soaking his in a brine instead of just a rub though huh?

it is NOT necessary to "Inject" anything is it?

I dont generally like to inject into butts...   

[quadrafire]

Yea-- I noticed the brine. Probably makes no difference. Mine had hardly any liquid in the end, I was kinda surprised, because of the salt.
You could play with injection, but doubt if it would be necessary. I will inject pork butts for smoking to high temps 190ish for pulled pork, but at the 140-150 range you wouldn't need it except maybe for some added flavor.

OK I have a ?
Is there any difference in a boneless butt roast and a boneless shoulder roast?
All I have been able to find is the shoulder roast and did not want to buy it cause every one that I have seen has used a butt roast.

Huntlake pick up a pork loin while you are at it and follow the same directions as the butt. It is soooo good and super lean. Mine smoked to 140 was PERFECT the butt I did to 150. I do not profess to be an expert as this was my first attempt. But as good as it turned out I feel like an expert

Quad,

I get mine locally here in Kent at a grocery store.  Most butchers that do a lot of smoked products will sell them to you also.

I just scratched my monitor screen with my fork trying to get a piece..

I will do that payday is coming. I did not pick anything up this last payday cause i could not find a butt roast. I think every body fromthis site seen these post and got hungry and bought all of them up.

one thing I do with a pork loin is cure it for 5-7 days with the buckboard bacon cure and then I smoke it to 160 then i can eat it on a sandwich just slice and eat bringing it up to 160 kills all the bugs that may make you sick good stuff

Holy mack...I am chomping at the bit here. I am going to order a few boxes from Hi Mountain today... I have the next two weeks off and I'll be home working on bows and dinking around with the kids...may as well be working on some meat too!!!

How cold do I need to keep the meat? Can I just put it in a cooler with snow or ice for the 10 days? I guess that would work fine.

Ernie the cooler should be just fine this time of year. Doubt it would be good to freeze though during the curing process.

I thought you were going to Hawaii?
