Found some whole loins for a good price , $1.29 / lb. Bought 2 froze one . I like to put them in a net , but this time I went without . Cut in thirds , used TQ , brown sugar , and liquid smoke in each bag . Yeah ,,, liquid smoke . It's ok .
Went 14 days in the fridge , then rinsed and back in fridge over night .
Hung in the smoker at 130 for 2 hours . I used 12 " tube with oak pellets and wood chips mixed in . I saw Dave use some mesquite on a ham , so I did the same . Gave this a nice dark almost red color . Not to strong at all . Tube ran for about 6 hours . Came out pretty good .

I like when it has the lite and the dark meat . Bearcarver Bearcarver Tender Quick is the way to go on loins for me .

Thanks
 
Looking great Chop. I have some curing too along with hams and bacons. I might net mine and hang them when I smoke them.
 
Looks like it came out pretty good. Nice Job. Why the added liquid smoke?

Point for sure.

Ahh, thanks for the share. They look great. I need to do this soon! A couple cuts of that stuff with some eggs and fresh hot pepper sauce!! Woohoo.

I'm starving.
 
Beautiful color! How do you generally use it? Breakfast fried ham?
Thanks Scott . I don't like to fry it . Makes it to dry for me . I just heat it thru with my eggs in the morning , or for a breakfast sandwich . Eat it cold with mustard and Swiss cheese on fresh bread . I take it to 150 to make it safe to eat .

I love the nets . Just changed it up this time . I've got another whole one in the freezer , gonna do the " injection " on part of the next one .

I had the same problem. Now I turn up the heat, add a little olive oil and quick sear about a minute each side to keep it moist.

It's more for the smell , I don't see much in the way of taste . 1 cap full in each bag .

You are so right ! I love to just snack on it , but a thick cut just heated thru with eggs is a great way ,,, to go sit back in the chair all day , lol

Looking good my way of doing Canadian style bacon the Bears way. I find it very easy to do its just the wait that takes so long. But then good things come to those who wait. :D

Thanks Warren . Thats why you need to over lap . Start a new batch before it's gone !
