Canadian Bacon Adventure

Split a full pork loin down to a 3lb chunk and followed Ruhlman’s general recipe for salt and cure. Soaked for 3 days and getting ready for smoke this morning. I’ll probably eat most of this myself just in case I messed something up since it’s my first go at curing meat.
The adventure part..... freezing rain and snow overnight, still snowing and had to use my propane torch to get the egg, the daisy wheel, and the air vent all open this morning. Making breakfast in the mean time with my cohorts, the sleeping 3 month old and the ornery 5 year old.

Canadian Bacon is the only "cured-meat" adventure I've tried (I only have one smallish refrigerator at home) but my recipe took two weeks of soaking/turning before smoking, and got to be a pain after awhile. I'll have to look up/try the Ruhlman's.
Let us know how it comes out!_____________Tin soldiers and Johnson's coming...

Couple pre smoked slices got fried with breakfast, pretty good, should be better with smoke.

What is it called before it is smoked?
I just put half a pork loin (about 4 pounds) in a mild brine(Pop's) today. I figure ten to twelve days before removing for smoking. I may try a bit before applying smoke as you did.
