    mark,
    I have cooked a crown roast at the last couple of Eggtoberfest.Here is the recipe and a picture of one I cooked at home.
    Larry[p]A Crown roast is made out of a bone in pork loin.My meat cutter takes a 8 or 9 pound loin with about 14 bones,cuts one inch slits in between each bone and then rolls it in a circle and ties it with butchers twine.I stuff it with one pound of sausage with sage,1 apple ,1 onion and 1 small package of mushrooms .Chop apple,onion and mushrooms.Brown sausage,onion,apple and mushrooms in a frying pan.Put stuffing in the center of the Crown roast after it cools. Paint the roast with yellow mustard and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
    Cooking [p] place the roast on a rack over a drip pan and cook at 350° until internal temp reaches 150°. I take it off,let it rest for 15 minutes cut up and serve.[p]

    YB,
    Larry, do you cook the crown roast direct or indirect. With plate sitter legs up or down?
    We hope to try this for Christmas diner.
    Thank you so much.

    <p />Butch M,
    I cook it with a plate setter legs up with a drip pan and grate on top of the legs.I have also cooked it on a raised grid using a 10" pie pan with a grate on top of the pie pan.Here is a picture WessB took of the one at this years Eggtoberfest.I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Butch and look forward to seeing you next year.

    WessB,
    The roasts I cook have a larger center space than the one in your pic. We have tried most fillings. Our family favors a hot Italian sausage filler. It adds flavor to the pork.[p]To each his own.
