Title: Homemade PBC Bacon
Post by: 1Bigg_ER on June 13, 2014, 02:18:41 PM: This pork belly was wet cured for seven days.
Got the PBC locked for low and slow, hang the belly, used Pecan and apple wood.

Oven is the way to do bacon justice, on a cast iron.

It's no secret, fold a HD foil and use it to close the bottom vent.
I'm still a low and slow kinda person even with the PBC, except when it comes to chicken. Which goes against everything that the PBC was meant for.
