    I did my 1st Pork Belly with the Makin’ Bacon Rub, and, Wow!, it was Superb!, I Hot smoked it over Iron bark, and Pecan, on my Reverse Offset, cooled, and fried up at a gathering that evening, the aroma, and the taste is outstanding!, further tasty rashes were devoured the following morning, as Bacon sangas’ at the recovery breakfast. I have another curing, with a couple more to see me through the festive period
