To canadian bacon. After we ate my first batch so fast, I had to start another one. Cut the loin in half and rubbed down with the cure. Then in tupperware container in frig for a week. Then poured off the liquid, turned the loin over, back in the frig for another week. Pulled it and rinsed it yesterday, then soaked for two hours. I patted dry and rubbed lightly with pineapple head and john henrys pecan rub. Smoked at 225 til IT of 140 then pulled and cooled. Slice and fry as needed. This batch wasn't as salty. Kids wanted pancakes for supper. Voila!!!

Its just Hi-mountain buckboard bacon cure. If you expand the topHarveyLytle said:That looks awesome!!! Could you post the cure ingredients and process.
Picture in my post its sitting on my cutting board in a box. Each box has 3 packets of cure and eack pack will cure about 8lbs of meat. I had a 10lb loin, so I just cut a few pork chops off it til I had about an 8lb loin, then I cut it in half. Simply rubbed the meat all over with the cure and put in a plastic tupperware like container and put in frig for 7 days. Then pour off liquid and flip the meat and back in frig for 7 days. After that rinse loin, then soak in cold water 2 hours. Then pat dry, season (or not) lightly with rub and smoke indirect until IT is 140. Then pull and cool. At this time its finished being cured and smoked, but still needs to be cooked. I just slice it and fry it like bacon.
Sorry for the novel.Little Rock, AR

Charcuterie the crapf of curing, brining and smoking. This book tells you how to cure meat and gives you recipes. They use the wet curing method for pork loin, to make canadian bacon. You cure for 2 to 3 days instead of 2 weeks. I have been making bacon from pork belly.....good stuff.

Michael Ruhlman's book is a great reference for an egger. His smoked salmon cures, both for hot or cold smoking are terrific.Although it's been a while and before I has a BGE his sausage recipes are wonderful. His recommendations for commercially available rubs, mixes and so on are money.Not recommended for bed-time reading - your tummy will be rumbling and you'll be planning cooks all night!

Very nice. I've been wanting to do Canadian bacon for years. Life gets in the way, get to busy to do it, push it back and then forget about it till somebody like you mentions it again. So now its back on my radar...unless I forget again.

@SGH
It's just the one that was recommended in the recipe I tried first. I ordered it from amazon. I honestly havent tried any others.
@Griffin
It's really not very time consuming (hands-on, anyway). If you have room in frig, it reallt takes little time. Takes less than 10 minutes to prep the meat initially.Little Rock, AR
