I smoked a pork loin this morning for sliced pork sammies at lunch time.  Took a pork loin, rubbed it in mustard and my version of Phil's spicey pork rub, threw it in the #1 with about 6 oz of apple and hickory @ 225.  i let it smoke until the internal temp was 156, then pulled it out and wrapped it in foil (in the cooler) for about 1/2 hour. 

After the rest, I coated it in St Louis sauce and seared the outside on the gas grill to finish cooking the rub and carmelize the sauce.  Sliced it thin for sandwiches, and oh...my...God!!  It was the most moist, tender loin I've ever made!  Nothing fancy, just a cold loin, basic pork rub, cook and finish on the grill.  Took less than 3 hours, start to finish!

Doing burgers later on (family demand), but had to get something smoked today, too!!

Happy 4th gang!

I never thought of giving a loin a reverse sear after smoking it. Gonna give that a try. Enjoy your burgers and your 4th.

VERY nice job ... it looks perfect for sliders or sammiches!  I haven't made a pork loin in a very long time and that's got my mouth watering.

You've got my brain working now ... I think I may try to stuff one with diced fresh peaches and a molasses/bacon/onion chutney, tie it, rub it, smoke it, sear it, etc. next weekend ...

Okay, guests arrive in an hour ... you guys enjoy your 4th!

Time for a VERY quick post ... two Bacon Explosions (hot Italian sausage, applewood smoke bacon, Sweet Baby Ray's Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce) about to go under the broiler for some caramelization.  Being served with on King's Hawaiian Rolls, some shredded cheddar and a garlicky coleslaw a friend made.

Not bad as far as appetizers go ... that and a pony keg of Shiner Bock and things are in full swing here in Houston.

Last update for today ... the only remaining rack of apple wood smoked St. Louis spares ... 24 hour rub, held in the fridge in plastic wrap, using apple wood ... straight smoke for 5.5 hours at 225, no 3-2-1 wrap due to the volume of meat in the #3.  They were well received so all it right with my world.

Let's just say that the meat coma and the beer are competing to dull the senses of my guests.  Catch y'all tomorrow.

Looks like there were many successful smokes and a lot of good food prepared.

I pushed my little #1 hard preparing 3 full racks of St. Louis style ribs (11lbs) but it came through like a champ. I can't seem to up load the pics (still a little fuzzy this morning) but will try again later.

Looks like the 4th was a great success for those of us smart enough to own a Smokin-It!  Oh, I'm sure those folks out there with "other" smokers had a great 4th too.   ;)   Awesome pics of some really tasty-looking bbq!

Finally had a chance to post the pics from my 4th of July smoke

  • ready to go in the smoker after 24 hour rub/wrap
  • a little tight in the #1 but they all fit
  • at the 3:20 mark, ready to foil
  • carnage the day after

Sorry there are no pics of the finished product but my guests started to arrive just as I was pulling them out of the foil and finishing them on the grill. A lot of activity arould the ribs and I barely got them on a plate before everyone started digging in  8)

Looks great, Andrew!  It appears to be another success story from the 4th!

Well, I have to admit that my 4th of July brisket was a little over-cooked. It still made a great 4th of July meal.

I got right back on the smoker the next day and came up with some fabulous spare ribs. I used the  Memphis dust rub and Vermont maple glaze I found on amazingribs.com. I smoked them about 6 hours and the finished them with the maple glaze on the CG stick burner. Heck those ribs were so good I took a couple pieces to work just to brag a little about my new smoker.
