IF you get active botulism spores. (you might also win the lottery) cooking renders it harmless. Not eating raw bacon not only protects you from botulism but also parasites.

Been a few billion tons of pork beef venison and who knows what all preserved with salt over the last few thousand years.

Per 5#
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup kosher salt. Mix both together. I saved an old parmesan cheese shaker to apply.
Cut meat into sizes that will fit into 1-2 gallon ziplock bags. Coat all sides of the meat with mixture. Place in ziplock bags and rotate daily for 6-7 days. Take out and rinse. Leave overnight in fridge to dry and smoke the next day. I run the smoker around 200 deg until internal of 150 deg.

When I smoke bacon I cold smoke it. Bacon is still raw when I am done. Gets cooked in a skillet.

Apparently you can get the same results as nitrates by using celery or carrot juice.
Saw that on utube.
just It might work.....since those vegetables have about 50X more nitrate in them than cured meat does. Before I'd go too far down the road of smoking meats without cure, I'd suggest one ought to get a copy of this book and see what author has to say about smoking meats without cure........all 25+ pages of it. Botulism toxin.......the most potent form of food poison known to man? https://www.amazon.com/Great-Sausage-Recipes-Curing-Fourth/dp/0578275228

I would recommend anyone that is doing any home curing/sausage making to buy it.
