Can you make pulled pork from pork loin ?

Dean

I just bought a 4 pound boneless 1/2 pork loin (paid $16 bucks). I did not realize that loin ain't butt (no need to bust my chops). I believe butt comes from the shoulder (figure that out) and loin from the back. [p]Well what do I do with it? Can it be "Egged" and become great pulled pork ? I've got my heart set on my first try at pulled pork. [p]Dean

Hi Dean,
Sorry, but the loin is a lean cut, and best suited for either roasting or cutting into chops and grilling. Once you get the internal temp over 150, it will really start drying and toughening up on you.[p]Still, though, you have a fine cut of meat there and perfect when cooked to 145-150. Mr. Toad's Loin is a great recipe to do if you feel like stuffing it and wrapping in bacon. Lots of good loin recipes in the recipe section.[p]Hope that helps. Cold ones to you.

Dean,[p]Stuffed loin is very good on the egg. If you like blue cheese try this.[p]1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup of carrots
1/4 cup blue cheese
some worchestershire (sp)
lots of onion powder[p]Brown the pecans and carrots in butter for about 30 min. Then mix in the blue cheese, worchester, and onion poweder. Cut a slit in the loin almost to the end. Force stuffing in and close with a toothpick. Cover loin liberally with your favorite rub. Cook at 250 to 275 untill it reachs 155 to 160. About 2 hours.[p]If you don't like that, stuff with dried fruit and marinate in rasbery vingeret dressing. Then cover with rub and finish on the egg with rasberry/chipolte bbq sauce. [p]Mark
