So if using tender quick u can will not need to a salt to your recipe?
Right---Never add salt when using TQ. It has all the salt you need already in it.

I always add some Brown Sugar to counteract the salt that's in it.

I never had anything tasting too salty when using TQ.

Well I have the pieces in the smoker that I started a couple of weeks ago.  The one piece I did the CBP and onion powder, garlic powder, gonna skip the pineapple stage as I didn't have any and the store was closed, should have read it a little closer.  The other piece I thought I would experiment with and just put maple syrup on top.   Looking forward to trying it.
 
Man That Looks Good !!  Can't wait to see it sliced

Following Bearcarver's step by step instructions I just completed a batch of Canadian bacon.  In addition to the step by step instructions, I PM'd Bearcarver  for advice and encouragement which he gave in spades.  The finished product was simply outstanding.  My next adventure will be belly bacon, also following Bear's instructions and advice. 

Thanks for all the help Bear.

I have followed BearCarvers curing instructions as well.  After applying TQ, I sprinkled with Garlic powder, then dusted with just enough Ground Cayenne Pepper to tell it is on there.  Let cure.  Rinse, reapply more Garlic Powder and Cayenne.  Form Pellicle.  Cold smoke over apple for 24 hours.  Rest, Slice and Freeze.

Really tasty.  The small amount of cayenne didn't make it hot, just gave it that little something.
