Cured and Smoked Bacon (with Maple Syrup & Whiskey)
Bacon ... nature's most perfect food.
This batch was an effort that deviated from an equalization method I've used in the past and I think it turned out well. Pork belly cured with a maple syrup and whiskey flavor profile for eight days, then slow smoked on the Blaz'n Grill Works Grid Iron pellet smoker using Lumber Jack MHC and Cherry.
(And yes ... it's Canadian and should be "whisky" ... but 'Merica so I use the "E" as is the way of my people.)

I’m doing a pepper bacon right now. A few more days in the fridge. Next time, I’ll be doing the maple/whiskey! That sounds amazing!
Great video. What was the starting weight of the pork belly? Getting ready to try your recipe. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Looks really good and it will be my recipe for my next batch but will have to change crown for Jack. Yes, Canadians like Jack Daniel's. Video well done. Thanks.

was it salty?
Why you didn’t burn the alcohol?
You don't need nitrate s in curing pork bacon unless you are storing it for long time. For freezer time is good vacuum sealed is fine.
Did you ever try the peppered cured bacon?
Can you define 'several ounces of canadian whiskey' looks like about 2 ounces. Wife came home today with a large pork belly.
What did the belly weight before curing ?
You are right. Cheese doesn't belong on a hamburger. Cheese belongs on a cheeseburger. Lol😊
How much is several ounces? Exactly. Recipes like this should have specific quantities for records and tweaking...especially with smoking and curing...

I recommend using a pre-made cure. I get mine from Amazon and just adjust my amounts based on the amount of bacon I'm curing. Just my 2 cents.
what brand of whiskey
Regarding the fridge temp, would you suggest a certain setting?

Cassie, for the cure, 38° is what I used (don't go lower than 34° or it disrupts the curing process). I use a fridge therm to monitor and kept it in the crisper drawer to keep it out of the way. For forming the pellicle, the fridge stayed at 38° on the top shelf to let air flow over it a bit better.

You should try Pecan for you smoke
Why do so many US people do hot smoke bacon, and not cold smoke? Hot smoking dries the meat and has less smokey flavor.
Cheese doesn't belong on burgers?? What? hahha I was just about to sub to you too.

Hey you can buy a cheese slice specifically made for burgers and it kicks arse. This guy needs educating as his bacon is first class.
What kind of weirdo gives away bacon, or doesn't put cheese on thier burger??? My next pork belly will be using this recipe.
1st you lost me at cheese don't belong on burgers,............... I personally like to let my pork belly cure 14 days as to me you get more flavor into the pork belly with the extra time. IMHO looks great makes me wish i had started my next batch of bacon sooner as it just went in the fridge yesterday to cure. doing a maple bacon and a spicy bacon.
Dude, the hand in the curing agent was kinda a turn off.
the sound of mouthbreathing on this video was unbearable.. i had to click off. you should work on breathing quieter or put your mic farther from your mouth. its so unhealthy to breathe through your mouth and not your nose
