My local Costco store finally had some nicer bellies (have been looking since Dec) so I bought two (9-10lb's)..Pretty much followed the same process from my first bacon attempts last year..Used a dry brine/cure process with one belly getting brown sugar/maple syrup and the other garlic/rosemary. The garlic/rosemary tip came from another poster on here (SmokedGouda) and my wife really liked this flavor combo.. Smoked the smaller/garlic-rosemary belly on Monday and the larger one yesterday. I also wanted a "smokier" flavor profile so I cold smoked the larger one longer (5-6 hours).. Just sliced/sampled the smaller garlic/rosemary belly and it was delicious.. Will let the larger (smokier) belly sit an extra day or two before slicing.

A couple things to know about bellies from Costco. If you buy them by the case it is a cheaper price. Ask if the guy can bring out two case and let you sort out the best five of the combined cases.

Who doesn't love a bacon post!!!
Great suggestion Brian on the cases at Costco. I'll have to check into that the next time that I make bacon.
