    good....it wasnt the best cut....one end was pure fat but a local farmer gave it to me along with a nice boneless butt and a 7lb chicken(not the one in the pic).. i had loaned him a generator during that derecho storm a couple weeks ago.....he had a reefer trailer full of frozen chickens that just came from the butcher.
    the leaner end is fantastic and the skin is nice and thin....i used smokehouse maple rub.

    side bar: the advantage to buying whole pork belly is for me this.
    average pork belly 18lb
    13-14lb after skin off(i like it that way)
    cut into 3-4 sections or however you like
    now you can pick the best section for special occasion and the rest for bacon or burnt ends/drunk friends

    Here’s the best price I’ve found. If only I had a way to get it ALL home......

    I smoked a brisket overnight. I would guess it was 10-11 lbs. It took about 9 hours. I'll have to post pics of the final product after it is done resting and I unwrap it.

    I like to take the new bottle and dump about a quarter of it into the empty bottle then top up the new one with turbinado sugar and mix....that way I can use it more aggressively and not be too salty.

    It was a little more dry than I prefer but had good flavor to it.
