Straight from The Bearded Butchers, we're going to show you how to make bacon. Who doesn't like bacon? We're going to show you where does bacon come from on the pig. We'll cure bacon with natural celery powder and how to cure bacon with curing salt. After that, we'll smoke bacon for you and cook bacon on the stovetop. Follow along!

Jump ahead and watch us sizzle this bacon at 39:34!

45:38 - What's the difference between sodium nitrites and celery juice powder for curing? Scott explains.

🔥 https://amzn.to/3h8nEcH Here's a great cutting board from Epicurean. You can't buy Seth's big one on Amazon so this is a great non-slip alternative.

4:25 - If you buy a pork belly from a local butcher, be sure that the rind (skin) is removed. We butcher our own pigs and remove the pork rind ourselves, so if it's still attached, you'll get a better product if you remove the rind before you cook the bacon.
