Bacon weave and pork loin questions.

[cheryl lee]

I chuckled out loud with glee after reading Jeff's newsletter highlighting this dish.....just can't wait to do this! My questions are these:  Did the bacon weave come out crisp?  (Can't really tell by the photo.)  Why, in the newsletter, does Jeff indicate he never recommends soaking chips for an electric smoker, even if the manufacturer does? And finally, I'm just doing a 1/4 loin (under 3#), but of course it is the same amount of meat thickness as a 1/2 loin, so I don't think my loin will cook at any significantly faster rate than the 1/2 loins in Jeff's piece........do you out there with more experience than I agree with this?

Not even sure what the "Test Area" is yet, so don't know what to expect with any feedback (or no feedback). Guess that's what a "test" is......we'll see how this goes!

Hi Cheryl! The test area is really just for testing posts on here, like if you were having problems posting pics or something you can go here to test it so it isn't being posted in any certain forum. I am going to ask a moderator to move your thread to the "Pork" forum so you will get better exposure to your question. 

And I see that this is your first post so when you get a minute would you swing by "Roll Call" and formally introduce yourself so we can get to know you! Also would you do us a favor and update your location in your profile, it helps people to know where you are when they offer advice, Thanks!
