I woke up with this morning with the need to cure my own bacon. I don't know where this thought/"need" came from, but it was just there. Anyhow, I will be attempting my first curing session, this weekend.
Q: Has anyone here, done this before, and if so, would you care to share some recipes/techniques. Thanks.

The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine

I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

Haven't done so yet but it is on my list to get done and one more reason that I bought a smoker.
The info you can get at Amazing Ribs is great and I plan on using their recipe for my trial run. I did the same for the first time I made brisket and was not disappointed. Guys there do their research.

1) Get a pig
2) Slice it thinly
3) Fry it
4) Scoff it with BBQ sauce

I know nothing of curing; but sounds a bit wrong to remove the skin.
It is just as edible as the meat and simply becomes a line of crispyness near the fat.

I wonder if removing the skin allows the brine to penetrate the sacred meat, more easily. Don't know. Hopefully, I learn a thing or two during this side project of mine, and I will have a greater appreciation for bacon, than before.

Best way to make your own bacon?
1 - Keep eating lots of bacon.
2 - You'll grow your own and can take it with you wherever you go.

I never demanded. I always said "please".
I will take pics, when I do it, and I will share.
Now that I have read more, I will need time to get all the ingredients to do this and to plan. I thought it would be easy, but alas, I have botulism to worry about. ugh. I am committed to learning this, but it is not going to happen this weekend.

When I upgraded the icon that you suppose to use from the system tray kept hanging / failing for one reason or another
I eventually kicked the upgrade off from windows update.
