Maple Brined Bacon Covered Pork Loin
« Reply #-1 on: February 17, 2014, 05:39:36 PM »
This brine is from Chef John on All Recipes.  I brined it for a total of 6 hours.

My original idea was to do a bacon weave, covered with Super Pig.


The loin out of the brine and seasoned with Jallelujah rub.


The bacon weave ended up being too small for this 4 pound roast.  So I covered the loin with 6 slices of the Super Pig seasoned
pepper bacon.


Not wanting to store the bacon for later use I decided it was time for some Pig Candy.  I gave the bacon another shot of
Super Pig and put it on the Grid Iron at 275.


Pork loin on the Performer, using Frontier Lump Charcoal, no wood.


Pig candy is done and delicious!


Pork loin is done and I am going to wrap it in foil to rest while I fix some cheesy broccoli rice (Knorr package version) as a side.


Pork loin is sliced.


Here’s your plate!


Very flavorful and delicious pork loin. A lot of different flavors that melded together!

That's some good looking juicy pork loin.

Never though of throwing bacon in a brine.

YUM, MIKE!!! I will have a slice or four please.

Chef John has some really good recipes.



For future reference, you can actually get longer/wider bacon weaves by overlapping bacon strips.  Cut & stagger where the bacon strips overlap on each row to keep the weave tight (kind of like staggering shingles on a roof).


If memory serves, I picked this up from the BBQ Pit Boys when they did a humongous bacon explosion 4 or 5 years ago.

I was going to make it bigger Cliff, but I ran out of bacon! The bacon I used was Wright's Pepper Bacon. My homemade bacon was way too
short to even think about a large weave.  ;)

Well, that bacon weave you had was sure looking awfully good.
