I just use a salt and brown sugar cure (50/50) rub thickly and bag turn every day for a week, then remove from bag pat dry and leave in fridge for another day to dry on outside so that a skin forms then I smoke but you can skip that stage, slice and fry yum :)

I smoke it in my Webber BBQ using plum wood and smoke for an hour.

Oh I use pork belly or peel a pig head for what the kids call face bacon.
