Re: What's in your smoker?
One key for adding spices/herbs to your pork belly while it cures is to use a lot more than you think. I tried garlic once, adding about 6 smashed cloves to each piece (3-4lb) and cured for 7-9 days. Smoked, sliced, etc. No garlic taste what so ever. Next time I try, it'll at least double that amount.
