Crown Roast of Pork

Dave B

I'm ready for something other than turkey or ham this Thanksgiving. I'd like to do a Crown Roast on the egg, but have never done one. Also curious about stuffing the middle. I'm a little nervous about drying out the roast by allowing enough time to cook the stuffing. Anyone have any rewarding suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance[p]Dave

Dave B,
YB (larry ward) makes the best stuffed crown roast i've ever eaten. .. if you search the recipe archives, or look at previous eggtoberfest cookbooks hosted by eithere wessb (www.wessb.com) or the the naked whiz (www.nakedwhiz.com), you'll find YB's recipe. .. it is terrific. ...

How funny - earlier when I was emailing WessB, I was thinking of CROWN ROYAL... There has to be a recipe out there with CR as a baste or injection...
