After reading all the threads about Canadian bacon I just had to give it a try. I was at the local discount market (Winco) and I notice some park loins marked down
as you can tell this is not a 2 pound pork loin
I bought four of these all priced the same. It weighed in closer to eleven pounds. I am trying Disco's recipe which I got from here

Thank you!
I'm only doing one of the four as I want to try it out first, to make sure the wife is happy with it. Plus I have 10 pounds of brisket in a brine for pastrami and my "extra" space in the fridge is running low. So I cut the loin in half and trimmed it up. Here it is with half trimmed and half still untouched.
I mixed up the brine
injected the loins and then put the loin in a bath for 10 - 14 days
Now I just have to finish painting the mini and I will be all set to smoke!
I'll post more when there is more to report. Happy Smoking!
