A try at Canadian Bacon for New Year Day

[fagesbp]

So I put them in the Brine tonight and plan to take them out Monday night. Following Ruhlman's recipe here http://ruhlman.com/2011/02/canadian-bacon-brining-basics/

2 pieces of a pork loin ready for brining. I made chops with the other third of the loin.

I'm very pleased with how they turned out with such a short brine.

I started smoking this morning bright n early and they were done by noon.

We sliced one thin and made sammiches with croissant rolls. It was so moist n tender n smokey. The other one is still in the fridge waiting to be lunch for the rest of the week.
