[@TotesMcGotes666]

I started making my homemade bacon earlier this year, and have given lots of it away to family. I've done dozens of bellies and my absolute favorite way to make bacon is by brining with salt, sugar, pink salt, garlic, paprika, mustard powder, thyme, and black pepper. After 4-6 days and a washing of the belly, I put a heavy coat of black pepper and a small amount of garlic powder to form a crust with a hot smoke at 200F until it reaches an internal temperature of 150F-155F. It's like pure meat gold!

Thank you for sharing. My friend and I used to make kilos and more kilos for the Four Seasons Resort in Punta de Mita, Mexico. We did it using an adobe and brick home made oven. We used real bee honey, smoked with any citrus wood, normally lemon, orange or even yaka. forr the salt we used local ocean salt. It was delicious. Rubbing it for 2 hours and let it seat for a week. Was a nice job. My friend died and Four Seasons decided to buy from Cosco. Life is good.

Excellent video, I was truly inspired. I have always wanted to try making bacon , so that being said: I Just finished making this about 2 hours ago. I used the brining recipe here and found it way too salty. I was able to remove some of the salt by blanching the bacon in boiling water for 60 seconds before frying it. I think next time I'll cut back on the salt and increase the brown sugar. I may leave out the ponzu sauce to see if it made a difference. I smoked the bacon at 225 and it reached 155F in about 90 minutes. Next time I'll drop the temp to 210 and go for a longer smoke/cook time. Even with my rookie mistakes , this is still so much better than store-bought bacon.

[@AtlasBrookingsMindReader]

I've followed this recipe four times now with my own pork belly and Guga is right - this is the best bacon you'll ever taste, unlike anything you'll get from the store. I've smoked it with Birch, Oak, Cherry, and Apple and each time the taste is smooth and strong but each wood has imparted a noticably different flavor profile - with Birch being, surprisingly, my favorite. Perhaps best of all, the price to buy a raw pork belly and turn it into bacon myself has been half what it would have been to purchase a vastly inferior bacon from the store! Plus, the process is really enjoyable, especially as you have complete control over the end result. Thanks GUGA!

[@juantrejo7686]

I'm smoking my pork belly on tuesday. How should I set my vents? I watched guga's top vent but don' know how to set my bottom vent...

[@AtlasBrookingsMindReader]

Hi. The trick is to keep the temp between 225 and 250 Fahrenheit. I set my top vent half open on my Weber kettle grill, And my lower event is a quarter open. This keeps my temps consistent, but I only set them when they have reached that 225 to 250 range. Hopefully that helps!
