Home cured bacon

Alright - i'm on my third batch. Second one didn't turn out great - too salty and I didn't rinse it enough before smoking. I need tips. Good recipes? Do you dry cure or wet?

I would have to know what illness the bacon had before I would attempt to cure it.

On a more serious note, is has never occurred to me to even try to cure bacon at home or buy it raw

Beat me to it...

My tip would be to buy it from a store...

What?! Why, if you like to eat something, would you NOT consider making from scratch. Do you just drink lite beer from the Rockies? Do you grow vegetables in your backyard? Only eat ribs from Dickies? Never fired up a still and made bourbon? (ok, that's a bad idea...)
