Those look pretty good. I will attach my post about Maple Loins. I don't make "Canadian Bacon" so it was not posted as that.

Lots of good information in your Maple Loins post.  All these things seem to be close cousins.  I think the recipe that I used claims the difference between Canadian Bacon and Irish Bacon was the cut of meat.  It's about a clear cut as the best pizza recipe.  I like the finished IT of 150.  That's what I'm going to try next time.

Ken if you stick your thermometer probe in from the top you will only mark up a slice or two instead of the whole loin. Dosent affect the taste just the appearance.

Thanks. That’s a great idea.  I’m not sure I have enough room in my model 1 as I’ve been using the upper racks but I’ll give it a try.

Then go in from the side, just avoid running it through the length of the meat. But as I said it is appearance not taste, folks generally like a good looking meal though.

I finished the last one of the Canadian bacon tonight. I tested it’s versatility with new flavors.  Over medium high heat, I lightly seared both sides in a bit of peanut oil. Next I hit them with some maple syrup, reduced it a bit and finished with some soy sauce. A bit of cilantro garnish and we ate well. Just trying to think outside of the box a bit.  The smoke was great.
