Homemade back bacon, a salty and sweet treat! It can be eaten after smoking or pan-fried afterwards. I like it on an egg and English muffin breakfast sandwich.

Steps:
- Mix water, kosher salt, sugar, maple syrup, garlic powder, and curing salt until dissolved.
- Place the pork loin in a large bag or food-safe container large enough to completely submerge it in the brine. Add brine and refrigerate for at least 3 days.
- Remove pork from brine and pat dry with paper towels; discard brine.
- Preheat a smoker to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Place pork onto wire racks. Place the racks into the smoker. Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions. Smoke until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let cool before slicing.
