Hello…I’m a Porkoholic

[Richard S]

So I might have a problem? Oh well…here we go!
I tried to buy tenderloins yesterday for a little gathering I pulled together at the last minute. But my store didn’t have them. But they did have a whole boneless pork loin (center cut) masterpiece for a great price! 11 pounds for $18 bucks.
I cut about four pounds off and put it in freezer and got to work on the big section!This marinated for a couple hours on counter covered in foil while I enjoyed a beerPerformer was set up for indirect with BnB and some peach wood.Was able to maintain 350 degrees entire cook (about an hour) and pulled it when the thin end was about 150 and the thick end was about 125. Big disparity there but after a 15 minute rest it was perfect.This easily fed 9 of us with some good leftovers for tacos in a couple days.

Richard, so am I. BUT, I have not enjoyed pork in quite a long time. I do not know if it is me or the pork. Does pork still taste as good to you as it did years ago? Yours looks soo good!!!!!

Richard,
Great cook as always. I said the same thing about myself on Friday, but it wasn't that I was cooking pork, it was that I placed an order at Wild Fork and almost the whole order was pork: 2 racks baby back ribs; a pork shoulder; a pork loin; pork sausages; and I added some whole chickens to make me feel like not such a pork-oholic.

"Hi. My name is Tony and I am a pork-aholic. Sometimes when I'm at work I am thinking about what I'm going to smoke over the weekend..."

If there was such a group. That might be a line that some of us say? . I know there are bigger pork-aholics here than me.

Speaking of pork, we are having ground pork, Asian style in lettuce leaves for dinner.
