Canadian Bacon re-stock...

Morning All:

We have been out of Canadian Bacon for a while so the much better half requested our supply be re-stocked...started with an 8.5# pork loin cut into three sections & into the Dizzy Pig cure recipe (great recipe) for 8 days...


Next set up the Egg indirect at about 250 with some hickory for smoke...each section also got a rub...left to right is Meat Church Honey Bacon BBQ, next is Lane's Spellbound & third is Braswell's Cinnamin Chipotle...


These went about 90 minutes until the internal temp on all three was 143 to 148 then pulled to rest for a few minutes...


Next cut them in half & used the vacuum sealer to store five of the half-sections for later use...will be some good eating!


This should keep us happy for at least a couple of months.

Have a GREAT day!

    That's looks really good. Also, the DP home cured ham is a new one on me, something to try.

    The dizzy pig recipe is legit, no reason to change it up.  I do give the slices a two second dip in fresh water to drop the surface l salt when frying though
