My only concern would be how well trimmed the loin is and if too much fat is taken off, with low and slow cooking/smoking it shouldn't dry out too much. If it's lost too much of it's fat though maybe a good quality streaky bacon blanket would keep it moist.
Most things taste better with bacon

Spot on Keith.
You just jogged my memory and I laid bacon on mine too.
Tasty, tasty, very very tasty.
Bought a loin myself for Wednesday and you may have saved the day.
Really should have taken someone's advice when I started smoking last summer and they told me to jot down anything that went well or badly.
Cheers!

I'd turn that badboy into bacon!
Just rub the loin with some instacure (about a third) at a ratio of 5% cure to weight of the loin.
Put into a tupperware and place in the fridge.
Next day drain any liquid and apply more cure.
Repeat until all the cure is used.
Leave in the fridge for about 6 days or so.
Rinse off any remaining cure under running water for a few minutes.
Cold smoke for a couple of days.
Slice and cook : )

Excellent vid guys think I might try this as my first smoke. Hope you dont mind answering a few questions for me? What weight was the meat? How long was the total cook time? Can I buy the rubs you used in the UK? Was you maintaining a constant temp? If so what temp?
Many regards
