Russell Rogers That looks awsome!

Russell Rogers it looks great! One way to get around the price is to make bacon from pork butt. Buckboard or cottage bacon is a good substitute. It’s usually leaner, but will cook and eat much the same.

Deepwoodsbutcher We love cottage bacon on BLTs. We get it from a meat market in MN shen we go on vacation. It is on my list to make soon.

This is true!
Last month I made belly bacon and also buckboard bacon from the pork butt. Both are great, but we ended up eating the buckboard bacon more… more meat, less mess cooking, same flavor, better for sandwiches etc.

So last night I cut up a pork butt, and I’m about to inject it for a fast cure. $1.99 a pound

Deepwoodsbutcher been looking at doing some of those methods. Been hooked on sausages lately, but definitely will be returning to making bacon. We have done back bacon , but have yet to do buck board. Thanks

Have two butts laid out, to bone, weigh, and rub down.

I agree on wishing the price of pork belly was cheaper. I’m waiting to catch a good sale on pork butts so I can make more buckboard bacon. I used the Walton dry rub bacon cure and my family loved the flavor and I actually like the leaner bacon.

Pork might get even higher since the Chinese CCP bought Smithfield. Thinking they now want to control our food supply?

tarp I am afraid is we don’t change things they will own just about everything, kind of scary.
