How to Make Sugar Cured Smoked Pork Loin Canadian Bacon

Rinse the pork loin thoroughly.
Place one garbage bag inside another, opening both as wide as possible. Place the pork loin inside the double-bagged setup.
In a bowl, mix together the cure ingredients (see below for recipe). Pour the cure mixture evenly over the pork loin, ensuring complete coverage.
Securely tie the garbage bags and refrigerate for 5 days.
After 5 days, remove the pork loin from the bags and rinse thoroughly.
Preheat your smoker to 220°F (104°C).
Place the pork loin in the smoker, adding wood chips to your fire source as needed.
Smoke for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 150-160°F (66-71°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature accurately.
Remove the pork loin from the smoker and wrap it tightly in foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork loin to your desired thickness. Serve immediately or enjoy it the next day on a roll or bread for an even more flavorful experience. It will never be dry if you follow these directions!
