I grabbed a 9.25 lb pork loin the last time they were on sale.
Rinsed and patted dry
Cut it in about half and made 2 kinds. Measurements are PER POUND of meat.
First one:
1 TBSP Tenderquick
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
The second one:
1 TBSP Tenderquick
1 tsp "Roasted Garlic & Bell Pepper" seasoning blend
1 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning Blend (salt free)
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes.
They cured about 10 days, I flipped them over every couple of days.
I rinsed throughly and then soaked in fresh water in the fridge for about 2 hours
I sprinkled the 1st one with some cracked black pepper and the second one with a little more roasted garlic blend. They sat out to dry a little while while the smoker warmed up
Smoked at 150 for the 1st half hour then at 200-220 until an internal temp of 160 was reached. I took it that high so I could sliced and eat without the need for recooking/frying
After a day or so in the fridge I pulled out the meat slicer
Look like I am stocked up for a while

Well done Sir! That "fatty" end looks ready to fry OR eat! Good hunk of meat there!
I am glad I didn't trim any fat before hand. It still has plenty if I did fry it but can be eaten either way. I put a bunch of it in the oven this morning while scrambling some eggs. It crisped up real nice. I am already loving this stuff.

Yeah the color thing was a little wierd. The flavors of the two were very similar but I would say I liked the one without the red pepper better-but I don't think it was because of the red pepper specifically. I just liked the paprika flavor on the first one.
