Pork Loin On The OTG

I did a 3 1/2 pound pork loin on my 22 1/2" OTG last night.

I set my OTG up with fire bricks for indirect cooking. I put 3 small chunks of red oak in the charcoal, and lit one end with my BernzOMatic JT-850.

I lightly rubbed it with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder. I panned it and put it on the OTG.
The loin was still frozen in the middle, so I cooked it at 225F until the IT read 40F, then I brought the kettle up to 275F until the IT read 145F.
I started brushing the glaze on when it reached 125F IT.
I took it off, foiled and rested it for 1/2 hour. Total cook time was about 2 hours, plus the 1/2 hour rest.

I've been glazing my pork loins with a mixture of apple sauce and honey. My jar of apple sauce went bad, so I threw together a mixture of apple cider, apple jelly, brown sugar and honey.

It came out moist, tender and very tasty. My thrown together glaze worked out great!

Rubbed up with SPOG.

Bob, nice looking loin. I'm wanting to try one soon. Can you get away with not brining it?
 
Looks like a great pork loin Bob! Love your fire brick method...been using them myself instead of the rails and really dig em!
 
I'm still impressed by the versatility of the basic Weber grill/OTG. I bet most people, outside of members here, just use it to burn dogs and burgers...
Great looking loin. Beautifully done Bob.
