Pork Loin temp

I want to make some pork BBQ with a boneless pork loin. What internal temp should I pull the loin?
Comments
-
Pork loins I always pull at 140 and let rest for a bit. Temps will rise approx 5-7 degrees during the rest. Much higher and it will be dry.
-
Yup, I agree, pull at 140º and cover with foil and let rest. I have over cooked to much pork in the past so I no longer go over 140º if I can help it.

if you are looking to make pulled pork, you'll want to run out and get a cheaper cut like a butt or picnic shoulder.
the loin is more of a roast. like the guys said, 140 and let it rest a bit before carving.
for pulled pork, the cheaper cuts will go to 200 . they are "pullable" around 185, but easiest to pull at 195-205ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
I agree with the 140 except I personally would pull it at 135 and allow to rest. It will hit 140 while resting and be very tender and tasty.
-
internal temp 135-140 ok pull, but what is the green egg temp being used? Thanks
-
I go with 350 dome temp, indirect.
-
I cooked 100 pounds at church at 350 dome temp, direct heat for around 1.5 hours.

is it me or am i the only guy that noticed he said he wanted to BBQ it? hahaha
his question is muddled, frankly. he's either BBQ'ing lo-and-slo in the desire for pulled pork at 205, or he's roasting, and wants a nice moist loin at 140 or so
sounds to me like he's trying to make pulled pork from a loin roast. that's (usually) mutually exclusiveed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
I noticed that too. No collagen. Bad idea. I'd roast at a low temp, 275 with lots of smoke. You could do a wet cook of a pork loin and end up with something like pulled pork. I've done it in milk.
-
yeah. i've seen folks that cook them (loin and tenderloin even) in crockpots too. they'll break down. you just need something for wetness and flavor (which the collagen and fat provide in the butts). in a crock pot they just sauce it to death for the flavor, but the meat still shreds
you see my post the other day in reply to yours? you can't seem to get one old timer to respond you your posts. or newbies.
if i were you, i would look up "essexco" on the urban dictionary. maybe it means something to other people that we don't know. like having a handle that was "cleveland steamer"
i bet if you started a post that said "free Large BGE plus a case of beer to the first person to respond" it would be me or fishless asking when we can come get it. then nothing but crickets after that. eye doan geddit pauled egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
What size/number of eggs would you use to cook 100 lbs for an event?
Thanks. -
I cooked about 100 lbs of Boston Butts on a XL and a Large not too long ago. I would think pork loins would be about the same.
