Do you guys cook your pork loins direct or indirect?

Believe it or not, this is my first time doing a pork loin (done plenty of tenderloins). Should I do this direct at 350ish or go indirect and let her roast for a while?[p]Thanks![p]TRex

    TRex,
    I did both at the Txfest. I stuffed the porkloin using Chef Wil's suggestions. I poured mango chutney once cooked then layered chopped macadamian nuts. I did them with the help of 2 nice guys. We did them direct at 350 - 400. I had a hard time regulating the fire. I think I needed to have added some more lump because there was not much in the Egg when I got done. Hope that helps but remember...I am no chef. LOL.

    TRex,
    I do mine on a small with a raised grid direct. I turn them pretty often--I judge this by peeking--to avoid burning.

    TRex,
    I like to do big ol' loins direct, but I think 350 is gonna be a bit too hot. Raised grate at 300 is my favorite. Roasting is fine, but you won't get the crust.[p]Beers!

    Nature Boy,
    Howdy Chris. Yep, 350 might be too hot, unless you keep a real close eye on it. 300 is probably a bit safer.

    Very good results. Sorry, no pics as this was a last-minute man everyone's hungry kind of deal - as soon as it came off the Egg it was getting served up.[p]I did a paste-rub with olive oil, char crust, cinnamon, turbinado, paprika, and cumin. Cooked to 135 internal. Good stuff. Will try to fruit stuffing deal next time.[p]TRex
