Buckboard bacon

[processhead]

Has anyone noticed bbb needing a heavier or longer smoke to get the same effect as belly bacon?

shoprat53 I agree about people being surprised as I have used Walton’s Dry Rub Bacon Cure and smoked with apple wood. My family was very pleased with the flavor. I like to use pork butts as I like a more meaty bacon.

processhead I smoked mine for a little longer, but I also deboned it and pressed it flat so it wasn’t as thick as a normal butt. I treated mine as I do belly and cold smoked it under 90f with a dry cure and no soaking and they have been good. I still like belly bacon, but it is a very good replacement.

Jonathon I’d love to see a video of preparing buckboard bacon…hint, hint!

Ridley Acres We will get it done!

Ridley Acres Buckboard is in the cooler, injected so it should be ready soon! I used the Blue Ribbon Maple, Booster and then I hit it with some 100% Maple Syrup cause why not?

Jonathon and the waiting begins! That’s the real difficult part

Jonathon I am interested in how this comes out as I am going to make some maybe this fall. My wife really wants to try it, she loves bacon.

I’ve got a lot of pork butts on hand and definitely need to try this out at home. I’ve done a few commercially and they turn out really nice. I’ve never had a chance to eat it though.

Ridley Acres Jonathan Sounds like you have another video option for “buckboard bacon”.
