I smoked it at 165 for almost 12 hours, until it hit 155 degrees internal. It came out spectacular! I just finished slicing it and vac sealing into 1lb bags.

With dove season (a Texas annual ritual) right around the corner, I was looking up dove recipes and stumbled upon this really cool site. They had a recipe for German bacon that piqued my interest. I have a 5lb belly in the freezer, so I might try this.

I just put a 5lb belly in the cajun cure. I'll smoke it next weekend.

Next time, I'll venture out and try the German bacon cure recipe.

Here's the Cajun bacon recipe. Unlike some of the other bacon cure recipes, I do not rinse this one off before smoking. After I finish the 7-10 day cure and pull it out of the bag, I put it in the refrigerator overnight on a wire rack, then smoke it.
