For Christmas I did a 6 bone Pork Rib Roast, marinade included: EVOO, Dry White Wine, Rosemary, Thyme, K Salt and Black Pepper. I used oak wine barrels for the smoke and as done before I used one of the wine barrel staves for the charcoal fence.

Coals against the fence getting up to temp

Roast is on, most of the fat was trimmed

After an hour on the grill....with the temp running between 350 - 400.

After 90 minutes on the grill....I'm still eyeing that end piece

This was my plate, somehow I ended up with an end piece. Served with roasted fennel and scallop potatoes.

Why yes it is a double cut

Both of the sides really complimented the roast.
 
I made a juicy mess while carving

Now for the fun part, remember that big box that was sitting beside the tree for a week? No....it wasn't a lawn mower

What a luck man I am.

So on Saturday after a carefully worded and thoughtful conversation with the beautiful Lady of the House I took the grill back to the store.


And....I ordered this

I hope that everyone had a happy and blessed Christmas and wishing everyone a very happy new year. And for the Lady of the House....GO BUCKEYES

O....H....

I bet - you're still here to prove it - and nice roast.
 
Superb Pork roast James!! And congrats on the new Performer - I LOVE mine :). What was the difference between the two performers?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
 
Great looking pork roast Jim. Really like how you use those staves. Wouldn't mind picking up a load of those sometime. You have a good source up there with all those Southern Oregon wineries.
