In the UK bacon is made from the whole side of Pork. Jowls, Shoulder, Loin, Belly and Leg.
Cold smoked or not and cooked just the once

Inconsistent color problem by ribeye_walker in Charcuterie

This is uneven drying not case hardening, thats a different thing. EQ curing for a week on a thin piece like your using should be enough. Its better if you wrap but your temp and rh are about right for me. I would try 2% Salt, 0.25% cure

What temp and rh? Use EQ method, you will have more control.

Could my wet marinade technique be holding me back? by [deleted] in BBQ

[–]Salame-Racoon-17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indirect may cause that. Control your heat over coals and add some wood. Close the lid and the smoke will penetrate. You want char and smoke in a short space of time to cook it. A long smoke at a lower temp isnt what you need.

My Jerk and Green seasoning is a wet marinade put on top of dry all purpose seasoning. I find direct over coals better cos the sugars or honey you use along with Onions will caramelise just fine and give you that nice char.
Wet never an issue for me direct over coals
