First Timer Smoked Canadian Bacon W/ Q-View

[mike johnson]

    I am making this for my dad who hasn't had bacon in almost 12 years due to him having a SEVERE cholesterol problem. After hearing how long it has been since he ate bacon I had to make this for him because everyone should be able to enjoy bacon.( Well 2 of the 3 will be for him

) I will be overnighting this to him next week. Its now resting in the fridge for a day or two before slicing.I just pulled the batch of Canadian Bacon out of the smoker. Heres what I have so far. (pics are from phone)

Heres the loin after the dry cure for 10 days and being soaked for an hour and then dried.
