Wrap bacon over the pork loin starting with the side closest to you, then the far side, then finally the ends alternating sides with each bacon strip. Finally, lay the last 2 slices of bacon across the top spaced about an inch apart.
- Tie with kitchen twine around the last 2 slices of bacon placed. Then in two places across end to end as well. Season all over the outside generously with your favorite barbecue rub or simply with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
