Pork Loin finishing help - Where's your finish line?

thetrim · December 2012

I haven't done a lot of boneless pork loins on the egg, but usually like to finish at 145. In doing some research on some new marinades, I've seen recommendations from 145 to as high as 160. I've even seen a wide range in the recipes folder here. Thought I'd throw it out to the group... Where's your finish line? Thanks for the help.

I like mine around 135-140.

Mid 140/s

140, rest and let it cruise up to 145.

I'm a 135 type gal.

For me, 140 for indirect cooks, and 135 for direct cooks (which tend to carryover more during the rest).

As you can see, the 160 recommendations are not often seen around here!

Happy Loining

Another vote for the low 140's...

Until just a year or so ago, the government recommended cooking pork to 160 to kill worms. Chefs had been cooking it to 140 for many years. The government finally came around, but the old temp is still out there.

I've never used a thermometer with mine, always just timed it and eyeballed it. Last one I did was perfect, thoroughly cooked and fork tender. 4 hours at 250, rest for 10 minutes and it will come out beautiful.
