We made our own Canadian Bacon, Cured Pork Loin or Buckback Bacon.
• Started with 10 lb pork loin, cut into two 5 lb pieces.
• Put all ingredients in 2 quarts of water until salt and brown sugar were dissolved. See recipe below
• Placed both 5 lb pieces into a 2 ½ gallon zip lock bag. These will get turned at least 1 time every day for 7 days. I actually then placed these into a large aluminum pan to avoid any possible leaking through the process.
• After 7 days, removed and soaked them for 1 hour in water to draw out excess salt, blot dry.
• Put them back in the fridge on a cooling rack so they could air dry in the fridge for 24 hours before smoking.
• Set up Kamado Joe for complete indirect cook and added 4 apple chunks for the smoke.
• Once Kamado Joe is up to temp, shooting for 225 to 250, placed them on fat side up until they reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees.
• Remove and let cool, refrigerate overnight and then slice to the thickness desired.
Dry Rub Cure: This is for 10 lbs of pork loin. 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup kosher salt, 2 tablespoons black pepper and 2 teaspoons of pink salt #1.
Extra Smoking: For the video, we actually had 2 full pork loins and cut each in ½. We did these in different steps so we could shoot a bunch of steps at one shoot. Smoked the second piece on the Weber kettle and smoked it hard with hickory. Found out more smoke worked better on this and for the final 2 pieces, I smoked on the KJ with hickory.
Summary: It seems like a lot of steps, but it really is not too bad. The initial prep was only about ½ hour. Turning every day, only takes a few seconds. soaking and blotting dry, place in fridge overnight was about 20 min prep. Smoking the bacon was a few hours, but with a good probe, you don’t do much. Slicing and vacuumed sealing for the freezer was a longer process, but well worth it.
CookPerfect Meat Probe: I want to thank CookPerfect for sending us the meat probe and also for the extra unit to give to one of our subscribers! The unit worked out incredible and the range it has was great. It reached everywhere in my house. Not saying this because they gave us the unit, but I would purchase this myself and love how the technology worked on this.
