Anyone do their own bacon?

This was posted on Facebook by a friend of mine. He's a chef and said his homemade bacon is the by far the best thing he does at home.

Nothing like it . . .

My family hasn't butchered hogs in a couple years, but bacon was always a joy. Our biggest challenge was not having the best setup for smoking. We found a workable solution. Smoke is the whole key to it. That's a nice looking slab in the pic. If that's home cured, I'm very impressed. Often home cured doesn't always have that quite so beautiful 'pink' color unless you are using lots of saltpeter in your cure.

To quote the father in A Christmas Story when he first laid eyes on his "major award", that is indescribably beautiful!

That's something I might try to tackle at some point. Care asking him his method?
