Buck Board Bacon

I was talking to a friend about it, and he informed me that it is supose to have a ham taste.

Sq why call it Bacon 

I was wondering of you just sliced it after it cures and see what it taste like, or maybe to only smoke it to a low temp (100*) and slice like bacon

Joe how long did you soak it after the ten day cure may have been to long of a soak drawing out too much salt giving it more of a ham taste

Huey,

That just may be the problem here. I rinsed it and rubbed the crap out of it for about 5 minutes, and then soaked it for about an hour and a half. Then low cooked 150 for 45 minutes and then added maple wood and smoked on 200 until I hit 140.

Dont get me wrong it is awesome, but the one that John made was more like bacon. I may have to make a new batch soon momma is on the prowl for it.

Thanks again for all your help, I just got my hi-temp cheese in, have to mount 6 animals next week and while doing that going to start the prep work on the summer sausage.
