I am want to make some canadain bacon from a pork loin. The problem is that my wife picked up the loin, and not knowing just what I wanted, she picked up a very small, aprox 3.3 lb pork loin. My question will I be able to make the bacon with this small loin, or will I have porblems? I will be using Hi Mountain bacon cure.

It is based more on thickness for cure penetration but weight for the amount of overall cure to use. I have heard 1-2 days per inch of thickness. For a reference point, I use a standard of 14 days when curing my pork loins. They range in size from 8-13 lbs and are generally 6" or less thick.
