What are you Smoking/Grilling/BBQ'ing this weekend?

The curing salt isn’t going to affect saltiness. There’s not enough of that compared to salt to make a difference. What was your cure? Did you rinse the pork after you were done curing? If so, next time slice a piece off and cook it before you smoke. If ya still salty, soak the belly in water for an hour or two. |

Just wanted to add, you really don't want to mess with your cure too much on the salt side. It's important for the curing process. Once it's cured, you can pull some salt with the soak, like I mentioned.
Also curious: Why did you use maple extract and refined sugar vs. maple syrup? I love the process of making bacon. I've done a whole bunch over the past several years and am still tweaking my cures. My last bacon - which I double cold smoked and aged - was far and away my best bacon. |

The flavor isnt the problem but the saltiness to me is. All together the recipe called for 1/3 cup salt I used Kosher a teaspoon #1 pink cure salt per 5Lbs Since I was doing about 9 lds I added 1/2 teaspoon pink salt. I am thinking Moms memory of regular salt was off.

I also wonder is Mom said they cured for 7 days. I did 9 because the weekend hear was rainy Saturday the snowed Sunday. I should have rinsed it and refridged again instead of keeping it in solution 2 more days maybe.

Yep. Sounds like it overcured. Still, the soak before smoke is a good remedy if it ends up too salty. |

Yeah I think thats it. My wife called when she got home she cooked some and complained on the salt and she is not shy to the salt shaker. I told her take out sliced put in cold water for an hour she called back said it worked. I fear it took out the smoke but may rescue it.

Did a trial cook over the weekend, ribs, chicken and beans. Smoker holds heat better than I thought it would.
