Bob Stehlik pork butt -deboned. rub with bacon cure and taste booster. (1 tbsp per pound of meat) cure in fridge minimum of 3 days per inch ( i go 30 days). rinse , soak 30 minutes, rinse, soak another 30 minutes. pat dry , store at least 24 hrs in fridge til it’s dry. smoke to desired temp. i then slice and fry to taste. if too salty i will soak again after smoking. will not degrade the bacon if you need to soak it again.

How thick is the pork butts? Just asking because I like this style of curing where you do not inject the bacon!

[leesanders]

pork butt with bone removed. maybe 8x10 inches

leesanders Does the pork exceed 3" in thickness?
