Pork Roast with some pix


 
My first smoked crown roast (but not tied up to look like crown

Did an overnight marinade using OJ, A1, Tiger Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce and crushed garlic (Recipe that Chris posted a long time ago

Started out with one slab that weighed around 7.1lbs and then cut it into 2 pieces because I had no idea how long it would take to cook that big piece of meat

Then the batteries of my camera died so I did not get pictures of when they were done and served. However, I do have a few of the meager leftovers that I will be eating today

- Moved to 500-degree oven for a 10 min reverse sear- temps climbed to 142 and 147
- Wrapped and rested for ten minutes
- One roast would not increase to over 142
- Sliced and all was well. Moist and subtle smoke flavor (used apple wood).
- There really wasn't much (if any) smoke ring which I found curious

Lessons learned: It initially cooked faster than I expected. Opening the cover to get the temp probes in and to baste would cause the temps to quickly shoot higher than I wanted. . I ended closing top vent to 50% for 5 minutes or so until temp was under control
 
Looks great! I did a pork loin rib roast using Chris' recipe for New Years and it was a huge hit. Love the marinade. I also injected some of the marinade into the roast. Will certainly use the recipe again.
