Pork Loin Advice?
Only the second cook on my LBGE, my kids have requested a bacon wrapped pork loin butterflied and stuffed, that I have done on the gas bbq many times. I was just going to do this with plate setter, legs up, I don’t have a raised grill yet, is this a good position? Any suggestions on cooking temperature? I won’t be cooking till the weekend, just thought I would get some of your expert egg opinions. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I have done it that way. It is delicious. I went along at 350. Cook to 135-140 internal. The rest will bring it to temp. Post pics. I love this way to do this.I also do tenderloins by butterflying and tying 2-3 together in a roll.

I will have pictures for sure. Yes it is one of my families favorite pork. It was always a bit tough to get it done just right on the gas. I stuff mine with apples, brown sugar, mustard and spiced rum. Any other suggestions to try something new? I also glaze it all when almost done in pretty much the same mixture...?County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada

I like feta, sundries tomatoes and basil.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

AE, I've done allsorts of stuffing. My favourite now is a bread based stuffing with dehydrated fruits. I prefer multiple tenderloins to loins.
Four pork tenderloins this time
Stuffing with ground pork, bacon, dehydrated apples and cherries, garlic, onions, red bells, pinenuts, celery, herbs, croutons and panko.
All rolled and tiedSteve

+1 on 350 indirect. You stuffing sounds great! I usually just coat with brown sugar, mustard and herbs.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Sounds like a good plan. I like the flavor combination.
You didn't mention it but may be planning on this, don't forget to put a drip pan or foil on the plate setter so if any stuffing or other drippings fall, they will be easy to clean.

Just make sure to brine it. ALWAYS brine poultry as it adds so much moisture. I use a really simple brine that works well. You can adjust to better suit your taste:1/2 cup kosher salt1/2 cup sugar4 cloves garlic - crushed and diced10 whole clovesBoil it in about a quart of water till dissolved, then add a ton of ice to cool it down. Scales to about a gallon or so of liquid. Scale accordingly.let us know how it comes out! Send picts.--Dave from Leesburg, VA BGE XL, Viking 42", Firepit with $16 grill

For sure i will use a drip pan. Thanks for all the stuffing ideas so far, pics look great as well. May stick with my old stuffing just this time to see what kind of differance there is from my old way to the new Egg. I am deffinetly going to try the stuffings mentioned above soon tho. As well as little Stevens Tenderloin he has there. DaveM... I have never brined pork....?County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada -
Brining leaner cuts of pork works great. Usually need anywhere from 2-8 hours depending on the size and type of the cut (tenderloins and chops). 12-72 hours for whole loins
-
You can stuff with just about anything. Cured meats and cheeses are great too
Procuitto and Calabrese salami
Provolone, green onions and sliced garlic
Sundried tomatoes, bomba
Pile of Genoa salami
All wrapped up

Very goodSteve

Thanks again, definetly looks like the tenderloin is more popular, I alread have a loin that i will have to use though first. Im a bit nervous on the brine. I wouldnt want to over brine a big loin, and i am deffinetly no expert on that.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada

All these pictures look amazing by the way!County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada

These pictures look incredible, can someone give me a lesson on how to butterfly a pork loin? Pics would be great. Also, are these tenderloins or the big pork loin? Thanks.

In this one, the gentleman answers the age old question of how to get the sausage into the tenderloin.

I just did a 5 lber last night for 12 hours and it was perfect. Had it for dinner tonight and juices were running out all over the cutting boardKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Sounds great, thanks, looking forward to it.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada

I didn't stuff but it was still good. Simple but good. The brine was very flavorful and made it very moist. I just did cracked pepper and fresh rosemary on the outside. 325 raised indirect until it hit 138.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Turkey's on the other hand, go for 24-30 hours. Corned beef, I've gone as long as 5 days. You can always remove salt with a fresh water soak.
