Had space in the freezer. So I started on 10.2 pounds of Canadian Bacon.

Used Pop's Brine. 3/4 cup each of white sugar, brown sugar and Kosher salt with 1 rounded TBS of cure #1 in a gallon of water.

Couple of weeks and it will be ready for some smoke.
 
That's what sucks living in an apartment right now. I can't take advantage of a good meat sale, because I have maybe 1-1/2 cubic feet of freezer space. I miss my old stand up freezer.

On the trash can cold smoker.

Using a tube instead of the tray...

Why?

No reason.

Hickory pellets.

Smoke, rest and repeat for a few cycles.

In the low 40s today. Perfect.

Thank you for keeping Pop's Brine alive!

Nice! I started two chunks of Canadian Bacon two days ago using Pops brine. Anxious for the results as its been a few years since I’ve done any CB.
