Starting Bacon

Today I started day 1 of making bacon. I bought 2 pork bellies from Midwestern Meats totaling around 8 lbs. I coated with an equal mixture of dark brown sugar and kosher salt and stuck it into the freezer. I will let it cure for 7 days then remove from the bags and put them in the fridge for I hope 12 hours. I have a little of a time restraint since I need to get this smoked by Wednesday evening. They are a little on the thinner side so I imagine that they will cure fairly quickly.

So lets hope this works and I will have an awesome Christmas gift.
