Used the pellet grill with Applewood pellets in a smoke tube. Fried up the scraps after slicing. Turned out great. Will be having BLTs for breakfast tomorrow.
My wife was born & raised in Ireland. If I called it Canadian bacon, she'd have a **** fit. Because I told her it's Irish, she loves it The two are very similar, but the loin for Irish bacon has a thin layer of fat, the tail is left on, and it's sliced thicker. This loin was as close as I could find and the end product is closer to the real thing than any I've found anywhere on this side of the pond.
I use a Briner Jr. brining bucket and cut a 5# piece of loin in half. There's plenty of room left in the bucket too. The bucket is ~8.5" diameter and 10.5" tall, so really doesn't require a lot of space.
