I see this is an old post. Have you modified you procedure any?
Although I rarely smoke both Dried Beef and Canadian Bacon at the same time like this one, I haven't changed any of my methods of doing either one.

Could be less confusing to go to one of the Step by Steps that shows them done individually, and the newest ones are probably the easiest to follow.

Tried the Canadian Bacon and dried beef (I used venison). Both came out SUPER. This has been one of my best smokes, and I'm at it a few years. Thank you Bear, you have taught me a lot. Ernie

Bear,
I finished smoking my first Canadian Bacon this am on my WSM, and they turned out beautifully folowing your Step By Steps. Being that the tenderloin was small to begin with, it took less time than I expected. It tastes as good as it looks! Thanks again for the help.

I'll bet that was Tender!! I never made it from Tenderloin--I only use the big old Loins.

Bear,
Dry curing question-you may never have encountered this, but using your Dry Curing Step By Step process with TQ, if the cured meat does not appear to be pink in the center, what would be your next step? I thought I'd ask this now rather than wait until it happens some day. Thanks.

If that happened to me, and I caught it during my Salt-Fry & cure test, depending on what it was, I would probably Hot Smoke it, so it would get to at least 145° quicker.

However as long as you use the right amount of cure & cure it long enough, that shouldn't happen. My Calculation formula hasn't let me down in 7 years so far.

Bear,
Thanks for the advice. It's reassuring to know that you haven't had that happen in that long a time, so I expect if I follow the Steps you've outlined the odds of it happening should be low.
By the way, I was talking to my brother ( who lives a bit west of you near Strausstown/Rehrsburg) about the Hot Bacon Dressing. He reminded me that Grandma and Mom used to serve it over sliced/diced boiled potatoes, and it was great that way too.

Yup---That's another good thing to do with it, but my favorite is over a plain Lettuce & Tomato salad.
