    Canadian Bacon wood

    Just bought a pork loin and am beginning the curing process. I am following Meathead's recipe but did not see what type of wood was good for smoking the loin. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

        I've got some curing now too and I'll be using cherry. It's not by choice per se, I just happen to have a bunch of it. Cherry seems to be pretty good on everything.

            Pear wood. Use lavender in the recipe, it's fantastic.

              Brined 6lbs. of pork loin from Costco for just over two weeks. Today is smoking day! Thanks for all of the suggestion....may go with cherry or some peach that I just bought. First try at Canadian Bacon, fingers crossed!

                My batch with cherry was awesome, I'll be having another go at it soon only this time I will be doubling up because it's so tasty. Hope yours turns out well.

              How did the Canadian bacon turn out? Curious, as the recipe I use only brines for 48-72 hours and even then needs a 30-60 minute desalinating soak.

                Maybe a tad salty. I rinsed the loin thoroughly the night before I smoked it. Might cut down on the Kosher salt a little and give it an overnight soak next time. The peach wood worked well. The family still liked it, so that makes it a success of sorts!
