Pork Loin with bacon?

[Mike Leiter]

I really want to do a pork loin wrapped in bacon Sun as I have a larger 4.5lb one I need to cook. Anyone have any good recipes for doing this? Some recipes I read said to brine it first and then wrap and others say just throw a rub on it and then wrap with bacon. I`m concerned a brine may make it salty and then wrapping in bacon may amplify the effect OR the brine will make it ham tasting.
Just want to do something different with one and son wants one wrapped in bacon. Only have about 15hr prep time to cook time so have to keep that in mind..

A loin rolled in bcn is good. I wouldent brine it. I really like dizzy pig - Swamp venom with bacon. But take your fav rub and coat the loin,add the bacon(you can do a weave for presentation) or just roll it overlapping. Pull the loin @ 140-145. If the bacon isent done sear it direct a few min. (or use a propane tourch if you have one). This alone will be good,but maby even fill the loin with something like crispy bcn/cheese/shrooms or all.

(thanks to mike for the weave pic)

That looks really good. I may try and do the same but with a pork stuffing or the like. I just have to omit the mushrooms though as sons girlfriend hates the fungi. Probably will filet to a flat roll, smear stuffing or filler on and spice, roll, tie and then weave bacon over the top and cook.
Thanks for the pictures and the suggestions.

Edit:
I ended up laying it flat, rubbing with a little oil, dusting with a light rub/spice and putting sausage and pork dressing in it along with a small amount of Feta. I then wrapped in bacon and dusted lightly with a bit more rub an will throw it on smoker later. The bacon wrap was tricky but I figured it out and used foil to help pull over and wrap and it made it easier. Pic makes it look small but its pretty large at 4.5 lbs...LOL
