First Canadian bacon with pops brine

[swampsmoker]

Hey y'all

First time making Canadian bacon. Soak in pops brine for 7 days. Rinsed off and did my fry test. Tasted good to me. Doing black pepper for one and garlic powder for the other. Ran out of Saran Wrap so had to use foil. But letting them sit over night then going to smoke them tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Tuned in. 

I would leave them unwrapped.     I do for a couple days to let it dry out and form a pellicle.

I did a new thread in the right forum. Smoking bacon. But it came out awesome!! Already have round 2 going. And belly bacon should be almost ready to smoke.
