7# boneless pork loin roast for Easter

I just picked up a hand trimmed 7# boneless pork loin roast for Easter. My plan is to follow this BGE recipe as a guide line. The butcher left the fat cap on the roast, which’ll be real nice. Is running the egg 450° indirect a good way to go for something like this?

In my humble opinion, you're better off roasting at 350 to an IT of 140-145. Just me.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

I agree with Brent.
A word of caution: loin roasts can cook dry on you in a heart beat, so stay on top of the cook.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -

I’ve done a few and never been too impressed. I may suggest injecting it, although I’ve never done it. As mentioned above, they can dry out easily so err on the side of medium. I’ve got one in the freezer now that I plan on cubing and putting on skewers with pineapple and using a sweet and sour glaze.I'm in Fredericksburg, VA, and I have an XL and a medium.

Just did a slightly smaller one. Butterflied, to about 1/2" thickness, made a stuffing from fennel, onions, garlic, fresh bread crumbs and white wine. (would have preferred Pernod, but none available at the local liquor store in airline bottles and no chance of me buying a bigger bottle) included some fennel fronds and cooked at 350 F until 137 internal with a few pieces of pecan. Made a sherry cream sauce with mushrooms to dress. It was pretty good...

FWIW, I score the fat cap on mine, marinade in pineapple juice and teriyaki. I cook mine, off set, direct low and slow, using peach smoke. I also occasionaly do an apricot or peach preserves coating, which typically seals in the juices. Stays moist through the meal. Leftovers are chopped fine for BBQ sammies."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Ok, if I cook at 350°, and pull the pork out at 145°, about how long should/could that take with a 7# boneless loin?
