Buckboard Bacon

OK y'all this is all new to me. Posting photos and curing meat. It did turn out tasting good. Took about 2 weeks, cure and 4 hours smoke.

Dave, its made from a deboned pork butt. Cured rolled tied and smoked.
Smoke until internal temp is 140 deg. I used sassafras wood on the smoke. I would say it is kinda like Canadian bacon. CF

Can you slice and eat, or does it need to be fried?

Looks good CF.
Wow 2 weeks did you dry cure it? I always prefer dry cure but it takes a long time. How salty was the end product?

Curing

Postby Stan41 » Tue Oct 02, 2007 12:04 pm

Looks really good. I have two questions: What is Cure No. 2. And is it cured in a refrigerator?
Thanks,
Stan

Cure #2 is a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium nitrate previously known as Prague powder #2 or just Prague powder. And I would cure it in a refrigerator we'll see what CF did.

Tom you are right it was cured in the refrigerator at 40 deg. I never opened the bag the whole time. All the cure did turn to liquid. After it had finished curing I opened the bag, and was expecting some kind of oder but there was none. I think it is time to make more. CF

When I make that I cure it for 3 days. Am I missing something?
Should I cure it longer? Will it make a difference in the finished product?
Thanks 8)
