    Maybe the saline concentration is higher, so a shorter soak.

    Sounds like there is a story there.  Ha, everyone in my family (including the kids) knows and counts time in 24 hour clock.  It is ingrained.  They were probably the only elementary school aged girls that knew what I meant when I said I'd drop them off at 0900 and pick them up at 1700.

    FYI - finished my Canadian bacon last week, ended up adding the Prague #1 salt 4 days into the brine (when I finally got it in the mail) and soaked for another 4.

    Just did a rinse, didn't soak in fresh water.  Turned out to be just perfectly salty - that is, not too salty.

    Smoked at 225 F until an internal temp of 145, then gave it a little sear. 

    Looked good, slightly pink inside, even coloring, great texture and it was the best Canadian bacon I've ever tasted (not that I'm a connoisseur of Canadian Bacon).  It lasted exactly 1 day before we used it up on pizzas and ate it straight up (had hungry family visiting)...

    I plan on making a bigger batch soon.

    Man that looks good, Doc. Still high on my to do list. Just need to get some Prague powder or order some up. Thanks for showing us the final product.

    Haven't been able to cook a decent meal, inside or outside, for two weeks.  Saw that pack of Canadian Bacon in the freezer, and decided to cook Lumberjack brunch.

    First BGE cook in two weeks tonight :-)
