If it's from Costco, it's already brined. 350 indirect to about 140 internal. You can rub it, glaze it, or mangrate it...Check out this thread for some ideasMamaroneck

If you want your food to taste better, you should use the mangrate. IDK how else to make it taste good now...

Don't take this the wrong way but that did not answer my question. Not sure what is going on with Mangrate around here. Seems like the forum has been flooded with posts about it and I am starting to wonder if they are paying everyone to post about it.Even if it is the best thing to happen to grilling, I don't have time to purchase and receive the Mangrate before my cook tomorrow afternoon.Soooo....How long will it take to cook mins/lbs? @Mama_Roneck did answer my question about the brine.Anderson, SC

will probably take about 2 hours. I always cook to temp so can't help with the min/lbs. I just put a simple rub on them - salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil, etc. Then finish with the glaze of our choice. A little fruitwood smoke (apple, cherry, whatever) will go a long way on these. Maybe one or two chunks.and Mangrates are just the meme of the moment around here. Everyone's just having a little fun with 'em.Mamaroneck

I cooked one last week at 300 dome. They cook quickly so keep an eye on the thermometer. Mine took about 1.5 hours. One of the best thing I've ever egged.XL, large and small. Hartwell GA on beautiful Lake Hartwell.

What mama_roneck said.
Brining is a technique to keep the moisture level higher when cooking to relatively high temperatures - over 150F. A rack of pork is basically a loin, which you want to cook medium rare to medium (I like it on the MR side). it's going to be moist without brining. You can marinate if you want - overnight if you don't have a lot of acid in your marinade. Acid (like vinegar, lemon, etc) can denature the meat protein and make it gooey. Probably not a bid deal with a loin since it's not going to penetrate very much and there's all kinds of fat and bone around most of it.

I haven't kept track of the weights...but at 300-350F, figure on 2-3 hours to get to 140-145F.
OTOH, the ones I'm seeing now in Costco are Kirkland brand (not what they used to sell) and thinner/smaller...so maybe less time.

You're gonna do just fine, Just next time use the mangrates -
FYI, they are still either swift or Smithfield pork. Costco just Co-brands the item with the Kirkland brand.njl said:I haven't kept track of the weights...but at 300-350F, figure on 2-3 hours to get to 140-145F.

Thanks guys. Getting ready to fire up the egg in an hour or so. Last question...If I want to, for the sake of my buddy who wants to see the egg in action, make the cook longer is there a problem cooking indirect 250 for a little longer, glaze it about 120, pull it about 130, and then maybe reverse searing at the end to 140?Anderson, SC

Mmm, Mmm good. Looks like pork lollipops.

Looks great, hard to go wrong with the rack of pork. I wish they would stock them all year long.George

@gte1 can you not buy a bone in pork loin and do the same thing?This may have been one of the best meals I have cooked on the egg yet!Anderson, SC

Oh and just for the record...That is an apricot chutney that the pork was glazed with and then drizzled with on the plate.Anderson, SC

That looks outstanding! Looks like you knocked that one out of the park. Love the presentation.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

That looks very good. So what temp did you end up going with? I've yet to do one, but my thoughts are since there's a rib in there, it should go low and slow indirect. And why is rack of pork not available year round? I would think a true butcher shop could get it. Is it not available at Sam's or Kroger year round?I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

That is one of the greatest "non-mangrate" cooks I've ever seen on here

Here is my personal 0.02$ :: I like to buy fresh non frozen (cryo packed) stuff from publix or similar for far better outcomes. I have done several comparable grills with costco and sams stuff and they ended up just not TASTING right. This is anecdotal and non scientific and take it for what its worth.
Membrane or not, my daughter and I have decided on "asking" the butcher @ publix for what we want to cook.
