Pork Loin

Cooking a pork loin on the Egg today for the games. I assume I should go indirect. Appoximate temp and times please?

Thanks.

If you are going indirect .... remember the BGE is just like an oven. Any cookbook will give you time and temp based on the pork loin weight.

Thanks. I think I am wanting to smoke at low heat. Guess on time then?

Cook at 350 indirect and it should be done in about one hour if it weighs in around 3 lbs.Pull it when the internal temp reaches 145.Hope this helps.

For a pork loin roast, I would not recommend low and slow. The cut is farily lean and IMHO does better with high heat and a shorter cook. Try indirect around 400. Pull at 145.

Thanks. I am going indirect at about 375. Why pull at 145 though? I thought pork was done at 160.

I believe that 160 will give you a very well done, very dry piece of meat. 145 will give you not rare but nice and juicy. I think the old adage about under cooked pork has gone the way of old adages in the day of farmed controlled pork raising.

Howdy, Stranger!
