I say try it for yourself and see how it turns out. Making bacon is very very easy. All you have to do is mix 1 C kosher salt, 1 Cdark brown sugar, for every gallon of water then brine the pork belly for about 7 - 9 days. Then you take it out of the brine rinse all of the slat off ( do not soak or it will come out too salty) and lay it on a cooling wrack until it develops a tacky surface. Then smoke at the lowest temp you can for about an hour or two and you are done. trim it and cut off the skin if it is still on. Fry it up and eat. Or you can look around on the internet and find a recipe that sounds good to you. I actually have a pork belly in the ice box right now that I am goning to make bacon out of. It is simmple and tast better than stor baught bacon. Dont pay someone to do it for you. chances are you want like what you get. You can also go to HEB or probably any grocery store with a meat market and have them order you some pork belly to make bacon. Like I said simple proces just takes a little bit of time but well worth it.
