Well after having to finish my table and the egg nesting on the backseat of the car since Tuesday I finally got the first cook completed. Many thanks to jmarbs21 for coming and helping me to get the egg in my table late yesterday and offering advice and guidance on my first cook. Was going to go with spatchcock chicken but decided to try the stuffed pork loin. Forgot to coat with evoo and was a little light on the Dizzy Dust but for a first cook I think it went fairly well. Stuffed the loin with goat cheese, roasted red peppers and fresh asparagus. Cooked indirect at 375 for about 1 hour and fifteen minutes (internal temp 143). Put some fresh silver queen on for about the last thirty minutes. I think I lost some of my cheese during the cook. Will mozzarella cheese stay inside better than goat cheese since it is stringy and maybe more cohesive?

Very nice!. Looks delicious!I hate to see that the drippings got on your new plate-setter. Although it doesn't bother some people. I like to use either some foil or a drip pan to protect it.I'm not criticizing you. It's just a suggestion you may consider."I'm stupidest when I try to be funny"

Thanks for the suggestion I will use some foil the next time or a pan. Just bought a pack of drip pans while at Costco today. I thought the cheese would stay put and used turkey bacon which doesn't generate as much drippings as conventional bacon.

Wow! For a first egg cook, that is some starting line to work up from. Nice attention to detail on the plating. =D>They/Them

Looks great! A suggestion would be to do a bacon weave next time. Might help to keep things together better with less leakage. I really like how you used the asparagus. Nice presentation.Dave - Austin, TX

SWMBO suggested I use one of those new drip pans just purchased. I hate it when she is right>

Goat cheese is usually good as a stuffing. I bet that you would loose more mozarella than you lost goat cheese.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

Magnificent :-bd
In your first thread you said, "I am impressed with the knowledge and culinary skills I have observed thus far on this forum. I hope I can sharpen up mine as well with you all helping out an excited rookie egger."
Are you sure your a rookie? :-j I think the members on the forum will be learning a lot from you in the future. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your cooks down the road.Steven

I don't think you want to let the PS get that bad. It might be grounds for the mods to kick you off the forum. Just sayin', I did a web search on nasty as a baptist preacher and it wasn't good. I couldn't even post a link because it was so bad.Steven
