Howdy all,

It's been a while since I've been trolling around these parts. We had a baby girl a few months back and since this is our second child, we had to change from zone to man-to-man defense. So I've been busy.

Anyways, anyone know a good butcher that I can get some pork belly from. I have not been able to find any and I want to cure and smoke my own bacon.

Any referrals would be appreciated..somewheres near Warren or surrounding areas.

Prolly yer best bet. I know the owner of Hollywood Markets...and if you have one near and talk to the butcher, they DO get them and he prolly could get 'em in for you.

Big Al,

Thanks for the suggestions. I figured that the eastern market would be the place to go.

I also pass by a hollywood to and from work so I'll explore both.

Or an onion powder/garlic powder/little brown sugar. SOME of us don't want sweet bacon, yanno... ;{)

Whatever you do..NO SALT TQ has plenty.

I was that post in the s-m, Richtee...good info. I did a simple mix of equal parts TQ and dark brown sugar. Then added a tbs of fresh cracked pepper. Got it going on last Thursday so I am being patient and waiting a full 2 weeks before adding the smoke.
