What am I doing in this section?
« Reply #-1 on: August 02, 2013, 06:45:20 PM »
Seriously.....little freaked out. I blame Sandman and Smokin Don for posting pics of buckboard bacon. Really been wanting to try and make some.

So I bought a Butt from Wally World as my Costco doesn't carry butts....only shoulder. Does it matter? ???

Anyway, opened the butt.....got a nose of sulphur.....I know this can be normal. So I gave the meat a good rinse.

Made a cure with Tenderquick, some brown sugar, and molasses powder.

Vac sealed and in the fridge for a 9 day nap.

Not sure I am comfortable being on the dark side ;)

Stay tuned.......

After I took the bone out I was left with two small slabs under 3 pounds each. About the width of bacon.

Pappy - you are braver than me. But, I appreciate the trailblazing. I'm looking forward to this saga!
