Pork Strip Question

anstissk · May 7, 2011

Hey all, i picked up some pork strips this week at the local grocery and i am going to make them for mothers day. I was wondering if i should cook them with the 3-2-1 method or how i should go about them. I have the time to smoke them so i would prefer that over grilling them any day. Thank you,

Kris

only thing thats showing up is a whole loin. These are strips. So thats why i was asking. They are almost like country style ribs. So i figured i could do a 3,2,1 method.

I would do a 1-1-½ @ 250º for CSR's

If it's loin, it can get dry.

I would wrap in bacon and then do the 1-1-½

Hope this helps

alright, im also doin a rack of baby backs so i should prolly do the loin strips while im doing that 2 hour smoke period and check them an hour in when i spritz the baby back ribs

Sounds like you got a plan,

I think it will work out fine!

Just post some pics for us

ya i will try to grab some pics for people. i just dont wanna over cook the loin strips

raptor700 · May 7, 2011

Once they hit 165º they are done,

That's when there best

how does that meat compare to rib meat? are they pretty close?

raptor700 · May 7, 2011

Rib meat has more fat, which keeps it moist.

Loin has very little, if any fat, which makes it very dry and tough.

Especially on a long smoke

alright thank you very much. Some of these have a good amount of fat on them so i might leave some in and do a 2,2,1 method, but most i will just take out at the safe temp. The package just says pork strips so honestly im not sure where at on the pig they r from.

Fat is your friend,Unless your a cardiologist

Just stay with the safe temp and you'll be fine,

This smokin' thing isn't that hard once you get the hang of it!

Good luck my friend
