Equal parts kosher salt and dark brown sugar, with some black pepper and marjoram for the dry mix. Apple cider vinegar and dark, high grade maple for the wet.

Five and a half pounds of pork belly

Curing for five days before smoking in my pellet smoker with a mixture of pecan and apple wood.

This is going to be the longest five days of my life.

Have one of those radlers for me. It's Sunday and I forgot to get some yesterday. Stupid blue laws.

Ah, yes. My good ol "Saturday Soda." I'll savor this one for you, pal.

No curing salt OP? Watch out for that botulism.

I was worried about that, too. But, from the research I've done this recipe should be good. Wish me luck?

Braver than I am, for sure.

How do you like the pellet smoker? I've been thinking about getting one.

Hands down my favorite piece of cooking equipment. I bought the GMG Daniel Boone, and use it to cook almost every meal. Worth every penny.

Thanks! Good to know. That's the one I was looking at too. Sounds like I need to bite the bullet and get it already.
