I've got a pork loin on the Egg .... done with DP Swamp Venom. Huge foil pouch full of potatoes, broccoli, caulaflower, corn, peas, carrots, onion, and cajun spice going on the grill now and fresh french bread going in the oven. I can hardly wait.!!!!

Keep an eye on that loin it will cook fast. You want to pull it off at 138-140 internal.
-
Why do the thermometers say 170 for pork ????
-
The same reason they say 140 for rare beef. They are wrong - erring very much on the conservative side of safety.
140* is a good pull temp for a pork loin and as you let it rest (you do plan to let it rest for ten minutes before slicing it, right?) it will rise another 5-7* or so. Pork is perfectly safe at 140* and it will still be moist and tender. You cook it to 170* and it will most likely be dry and have the consistency of one of my old combat boots. -
Well my wife and I don't like combat boots, but we also want to cook out the squeel !!!
-
To each his own, everyone has a doneness preference and tolerance level. But remember, you can always put it back on to cook more, but you can't un-cook it.
-
at 140 it will be just fine - the 170 is a throw back to your parents days.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.
-
The squeal will be gone at 138-140. Try it you will like how tender and moist it is..
-
Rod,,, Is that with or without the socks?
-
Well.......we tried the loin at 150, let it rest 10-15 min and it's now back on the egg :(
Sorry folks, I just can't handle the blood running from the pork! Shame, the veggies and bread are done.
I did however like the flavor of the Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom rub Greg put on it!!!! -
Very sorry you didn't enjoy it. I can honestly say I've cooked a lot of pork loin to 140 and have never seen anything remotely bloody.
Like I said in an earlier post, cook it a few more minutes and you'll be fine. -
If you are talking about the pinkish juices flowing from the meat then you have perpetuated the Myth.
You are mistaking the clear pink color smokes adds to the meat for blood.
There is very little actual blood in raw pork sold in the US. -
what a shame.
there's no blood in a pork loin....
pink fluid on a plate isn't blood.
ah well. "horse to water..." and all that.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante
