you can make your own bacon. It is easier than you think
Very true. One of the things I like about Costco is they usually have a nice selection of pork bellies. It really is easy, and I can cut it as thick as I like.

Fake news,you can make your own bacon. It is easier than you think and you can make whatever flavor you want. I've been doing it for years. A smoker helps but not required.
I usually make about 20# the day after Thanksgiving. Bacon and leftover turkey sandwiches with my latest vintage Chardonnay. We are truly thankful for 2 feasts, back to back.

I haven't noticed any shortage of bacon at the store.
But this thread has inspired me and I'm gonna have a BLT for supper. With a half pound (before cooking) of bacon in it -
OK, got some links to methods you like?
I'd want to start small, Costco has large slices ( 15-20# ?), but I can get 5 # or so at the Polish store near us.
mmmmm - bacon

Here's a corny video but accurate.
I have used apple, plum and cherry from my fruit tree trimmings, pecan and oak from the Home Depot. I had a pickup truck full of hickory branches from an employee of mine. He had 9 trees fall down during a storm and he asked me if I needed some hickory, he knew I BBQed/smoked ribs, bacon and hams. He filled my pickup up, it took me over a week to make hickory slices.
When seasoning, I always use the real deal... such as real maple syrup instead of imitation. YMMV
