Well I got the last Canadian Bacon out of the freezer today. A friend brought me a loin to smoke for them and gave me a 3rd of the loin for my efforts. So It was calling my name,

David Make some Canadian Bacon. So here we go. After I trimmed up the loin I had 2.37 LBS. I mixed 34.65 grams of Tender Quick and 34.65 grams of dark brown sugar. That is 1/2 OZ per pound of meat. The loin is 2 1/4" thick. So 1/2 of the 2 1/4" thickness is 1 1/8" thick, Divided by 1/4" per day to cure equals 4 1/2 day plus 2 extra days equals 6 1/2 days minimum before smoking. I will turn and rub it everyday. Then smoke it when I get a chance.

This is the loin before trimming.

I then rubbed it down real good with the TQ and DBS. I put it in a vacuum

bag and put it in the VacMaster  to seal. ( man I sure do like that thing

OK, I have done a lot of TQ curing. I have loins curing now.

How does the vaccum bag affect the cure time???

 I don't know that it does  affect the cure time.  I always go over on cure time anyway.

It does help to keep the cure against the meat. I keeps me from having a accident  in the fridge. You have to put it in something and the bags are cheaper than zip Lock. 

Happy smoken.

I'm using a wet brine, Pops brine.  The next one I'm going to use a dry brine to compare the two.  I like your method of the vacuum bag too, thanks for sharing that.  I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product.
 
After 4 hours in smoke. At this point I added a row of apple pellets to the AMNPS.

LOL----I usually Break the rules, and take a couple sample slices fresh out of the smoker. Then slice the rest 2 days later.

I'm an outlaw when it comes to various Bacon Smokes.

Today was the first time that I tasted it. I have to say this is the best batch I have ever made. It was not to sweet or salty. I am thinking this will be my go to recipe for Canadian Bacon. I have made quit a few batches that were very good but this was great. I am thinking it is a combanation of the cure and the pitmasters blend dust.

So lets sum this all up.

Pork loin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Given to me for smoking some meat for A friend.               Tender Quick and brown sugar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Walmart
