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?

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?

Which brine on that link did you end up using?

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.

Never tried a wet brine for bacon always dry :dunno: ;)

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.)
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.
