My job was to hand rub each side of each slab, twice a day and turn them over ..... my grandfather would make the determination as to when they were "done". Yep, nutten much better than a mess of thick sliced, sugar/salt cured bacon, cooked in an iron skillet, along with some country fresh eggs.

DANG! ...... I'd best go to bed before I run in and cook up some bacon & eggs .......

Damnit now I want bacon. Wonder if I could cook some up without waking the wife?
