Look what I found at the grocery store
I was just going to grab a brisket and go, but after picking out a
nice looking 11 lb slab of beef I notice whole pork loins on sale for
$1.79/lb. Less than the brisket in my hand. So I say aloha to
the brisket and say aloha to a pork loin. Just under 12 lb, and a
nice 3 lb chuck roast just for fun. Seasoned with the rub
and, since they're both nice hunks of meat I started them at a higher temp
(450°) and just let the fire run out. Into the cooker at 1:00 p.m., the beef was done by
2:45 and I left the pork on until the fire burned out by 4:30 p.m.
Wrapped the loin in plastic and foil to cool and refrigerate overnight
before carving. Delicious. I think I'd walk past a pork butt
for it. The shoulder cut was tough. Next time a two inch
sirloin instead. I only burned six sticks of seasoned oak for the
cook. Twelve pounds of pork loin because it was there. |
