I guess I never get too fancy with bacon. I usually use maple syrup or sugar in the raw, but this time I just wanted straight up bacon.
One of my favorites though is to use paprika, sugar in the raw, a good bit of cayenne pepper, and a little cumin. It sure wakes up a day!!!

I've never had good luck with maple syrup. At least it doesn't really add any maple flavor that I can taste.
When you do the paprika, sugar, cayenne and cumin, is that in the cure or do you rub it on before putting in the smoker?
