Title: Canadian Bacon--I'm in!
Post by: drano on April 21, 2013, 02:25:45 PM
Got my $1.88/lb pork loin yesterday, about a 10 pounder.  So here we go.
Removed the fat and silver, cut into thirds, weighed each piece.   
Measured out Hab's recipe from the Susan Minor site.

Rub it in, and bag them up.

Six days takes me to next Saturday for the rinse.  Then over night in the fridge, and smoke it Sunday afternoon.
Can't wait!

Rinsed/soaked the meat Saturday evening, then put on the smoker racks and set in fridge overnight to dry.
Today, 5 cheery pucks and 5 hours later, here we go.  The small one was done about an hour before the others.
Into the fridge for a couple days, then slice and eat!

Here's the money shot.
First impressions
- Its hard to cut with a sharp knife!  Need a slicer.
- Not like store bought CB--so initial taste is "hmm, this is different".
- Garlic and onion powder taste are more pronounced than I thought they would be
- Overall, tastes very good--just need to become accustom to the taste, and appreciate that its better than store bought.
Overall, a great success.  Got it sliced and will vac pack Wed.
