I use the hi mtn cure for this go here and check it http://www.himtnjerky.com/ out you can order from them or you can find it at wharehouse sports or i think sportco has it not sure about cabelas
it comes with instructions in the box get a pork butt shoulder roast i used a 10 pound roast you use 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon and 1/4 teaspoon per pound of meat rub the cure onto the meat all over and in where you cut the bone out place the roast into a plastic bag and into the fridge for 10 days i turned it every other day
after 10 days i rinse the roast and soak it in fresh water for 1 hour to remove some of the salt then i place into the smoker at 225-250 and i used cherry for smoke when the bacon reaches 140 its done i let it cool in the fridge once its cold slice and fry it up
the thicker you slice the more ham flavor if you slice thinner it tastes like bacon its great stuff
once you start making this stuff you wont want to go back to store bought bacon

It looks and sounds great.  And the weather has been mild enough to smoke no problem and I haven't been working so I have all this "free time" on my hands while I'm waiting for work to start back up.  I've actually been looking to do just regular bacon but the butt roasts are so much easier to come by and probably healthier I would guess.

That is awesome looking.Makes my mouth water just looking at the pics.I love meats smoked with the mildness of good fruitwood. I have Apple cherry wood always at home.
