Rack Of Pork Winner!

JRWhitee

I cooked a Costco Rack of Pork on the large last night. 350 raised indirect, it took around 2 hours and then rested 30 minutes. I rubbed it with Fat Boy's "Rub" around 11:00am wrapped and into the fridge. Cleaned out he Large Egg and filed it with Rockwood and a couple chunks of Pecan and Cherry. Started the Egg around 3:30 and let the egg stabilize for an hour while I marinated myself with some Kettle One and blue cheese stuffed Olives. Put the rack on at 4:30 and pulled at 6:30 when temp was at 138-143, depends on where you stuck the thermopen....Then grilled some asparagus and had friends over who brought some parmesian crusted brussel sprouts. Pork was very tender and juicy. Winner! Our friends couldn't believe how good it was.

This looks great and is my favorite cook. I see 8 bones how much did it weigh?

Looks like a winner to me my friend =D>

Ribs do look good.

This is the first time I seen someone do a double cook on ribs. Is this something you always do? Or is this a way to reduce the cook time once guests arrive?

Nice cook, bet it tasted awesome

The Rack weighed almost 7lbs

@Mikee

Not sure what you mean "double cook" I cooked the whole rack at 4:30pm and we ate at 7:00pm last night.

Nice! I need to get to Costco and pick one up.

@DMW

I highly suggest you do that you won't be disappointed. The first one I got I cut into two bone rib chops and they were just as good if not better. I cooked those direct at 350 for around 45 minutes.

DMW

Thanks, I will probably pick up more than one, there's still some room in the deep freezer.

JRWhitee

That is what I did, I still have one left.

Mikee

Double Cook? You cooked them then put into the fridge. Then cooked them again. Did I miss something?

@Mikee

I rubbed it with Fat Boys "rub" and put it in the refrigerator for 5 hours then cooked it.

Nice meal 

Mikee

I get it.  Perhaps a better time line would not be as confusing.

"350 raised indirect, it took around 2 hours and then rested 30 minutes. I rubbed it with Fat Boy's "Rub" around 11:00am wrapped and into the fridge. "

Did you cook for 2 hours and then rub; and then into the fridge?

I have one in the fridge now, so cut it up or cook it whole. Sound like you liked the chops better. I'm guessing you can get more flavor/crust/rub with more surface area and that made a difference.

Looks awesome

Great looking pig there! I have one of those in my fridge right now. Bought it before the weekend and we were traveling. I'm already looking forward to it!

Thanks for the reply, how many people did it feed? 8?  

Thanks,

Your thoughts; does it freeze well (better to buy a couple and freeze or just wait till you need it and pick one up?). Looks like you have cooked direct and indirect as well as cut two bones and one bone per person (what is preferable)? IS a two bone per person just way two much for most people? Sorry but you and Joan seem to have this figured out (no need to reinvent the wheel).

Nice cook, definitely on my bucket list of cooks.

Looks great - definitely something I'd like to try.

I see what I did, sorry about that.

I think I preferred cutting it into two bone chops and cooking direct because you can control the temp each one will be pulled at. When i cooked the whole thing one end was done but the other thicker end needed a little more time. A few slices of the whole cooked roast (end pieces) were a little drier than the middle. The two bone chop may be too large for some but I think it will cook better that way, you could spit the chop after the cook and serve one chop also. The 2 bone chop was just enough for me.

@JohnInCarolina

Thanks, glad your back!

@CPARKTX

Thanks.

Looks great. On the list.

I made it both ways, whole and individual chops, agree with @JRWhitee, prefer the individual chops.

After reading this part of your post, I really had to pause. 

I cut a six pound rack into three two-bone portions ... cooked one portion indirect and the two of us ate part of it for dinner with the rest warmed up for my lunch the next two days.  Geez, you guys are going to both out cook me and out eat me.

When the food is good I tend to exceed my comfort zone. The wife had the rest of her 2 bone chop for lunch the next day....
