Buckboard bacon

Buckboard bacon... made from pork butt instead of belly or loin.

Trimmed out the bone and rind. It went from 4.8 # to 3# after trimming! Ready to cure for 10 days with Hi Mountain's Buckboard Bacon Cure (I didn't feel like making my own).

After chilling for a day it's time to slice and vacuum seal.

Buckboard bacon just got the rub applied... can't cook that for 10 days!
