Welcome to the forum Dick

Are you familiar with cures and how to use them?   Canadian bacon requires either Cure 1 or Tenderquick.

Food Grade Plastic containers are Safe to cure in...Go to your local Baker and ask for a 5 Gal Bucket with a lid. If that is too big, go over to the Fish Monger and ask for a Fish Tub with Lid, they are about 12X15X4" deep. Both places Throw several of these out every day and are more than happy for you to take them...JJ

I have been using a plastic container for 7 months to brine beef, pork and turkey in.  Beef and pork I brine using high salt content, acidy juices for up to 10 days and have never had any problems at all.  Just make sure that containers has been cleaned and disinfected before and after use.

First Richard how much meat are you planning cure that is what we need to know first.   Did you look in the pork division of this site?  Seems like I saw the directions there I will check there.   Frankly a double smoked ham is so good I wouldn't mess with canadian bacon.  I inject the ham with mix of brandy 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup or brown sugar.  Smoke using hickory wood chips.  I smoke a 9 lbs ham for 5 hours at 200 degrees.    It is off the wall especially with fried potatoes and eggs!!!

Go to the forum drop menu select cold smoking and then bacon.  Hope that helps.

Lots of great Canadian Bacon recipes here.  This is one I use with very few seasoning adjustments?
