So Magic

What's in the cure mix ??

Have not tried bacon yet but it is on the list and from Titch's comment sounds like dry cure is the way to go at home

Thanks in advance

My pork bellies have been dry curing in salt and milled pepper leaf for a few days. Thursday I think will be smoking day.

Last time I smoked at 250degF and it cooked, went grey. I took it to 160degF. Given there is no nitrate I suppose that is right. Tastes good when fried up though!

Should I rather cold smoke it? How long for?
