I did trap some hogs once and fed them out for a month or so on corn to get the fat where I wanted it. It did make some good meat. <br />Good luck with it.

I have never tasted better pork than the wild hogs I shoot visiting family in FL every year. Maybe growing up eating wild game 7 days a week plays a part. And yes, they do have pork belly like any store bought swine that can easily be made into your own homemade bacon!<br />Great recipe though, looking forward to trying it!<br />NY huntressAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-45848511214386690252013-01-04T08:22:57.582-06:002013-01-04T08:22:57.582-06:00G- A body in motion stays in motion and it is bett...G- A body in motion stays in motion and it is better than sitting around twiddling your thumbs.

It has a nasty flavor and stinks. Female is fine. We have a good meat market at our local Mom & Pop store. I figure we might be able to get pork belly there. - GHilltop Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851437447741063776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-38406611954464272552013-01-02T13:05:40.510-06:002013-01-02T13:05:40.510-06:00Sista to be honest, the only time I like a pig is ...Sista to be honest, the only time I like a pig is when the grease is popping off it in the frying pan.

If I had the choice I would trap a couple and feed them for a couple of months to get some of that wild taste out. Some like it a lot but I don't.

I have resisted raising pigs because we have so many wild hogs around here. I guess that may be an project for this or next year.

The pink curing salt is called Prague Powder No. 1 and I get it from www.americanspice.com. Some don't like using it but I do for the color and safety. <br />There are other ways to smoke it with a regular smoker and even in the oven using liquid smoke but being I do most of the cooking outside and the in pioneer way I choose to do it outside and in a real cold smoker.<br />Thanks again for the comment. <br />Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-71258069948517687892012-12-30T17:20:29.250-06:002012-12-30T17:20:29.250-06:00Pickling salt?
