Thank you Harry!

I gave the honey cured bacon a shot, it's great.
I fired up my half-a$$ smoke generator yesterday morning.

I only got about 13 hrs., the weather didn't co-operate. Here is the belly just out of the smoker.

This morning I sliced it up and packed it up.

I fried up a few pieces to try, the taste was great. Not too sweet, not too salty.
Thanks for sharing the recipe Harry, I'll be doing this again for sure. Very Happy

I am glad you got to make some, it is my 2nd biggest seller right now, the peppered bacon is my top seller, but the honey-cured is catching up quick as more people try it.

That slab looks great! I might need to fry some bacon up for myself now!

GF, now that is some fine looking bacon.
I just got through making Canadian Bacon, so now I have an empty spot in the fridge.
Seems like every site that I go to today, somebody is making delicious looking bacon.
So I gotta go to the store tomorrow. Very Happy

x2 on the "Thank You Harry".

Maniac, thanks. Your right, Harry answered all my questions and provided the recipe so I only assembled and smoked.
I guess I always was "neck down" labor. Embarassed

h4ppy-chris, thanks, I'm sure yours will be fine. The only problem is after you make it, you won't want store bought bacon again. Wink

They are right though... don't short cut your bacon h4ppychris, it is way better to take the time to do it all justice!

Modern commercial bacon is pumped full of cure, with injections, but it is not the same flavor IMO that you get taking all the time each step needs.
