Went to Costco and picked up a whole pork loin for $18, cut 2/3 of it into thick chops for later dinners and decided to pinwheel the other third.

Got it all sliced and layed out, rubbed with olive oil, lemon & thym seasoning, and cracked black pepper. Then piled high with spinich and feta.

Rolled it up and used a dozen toothpicks to hold it together and tossed it into the fridge for an hour or so, then got the WSM ready with lump charcoal and hickory.

Once the WSM was up to 250° I tossed it on and got the probe set.

Was running with a dry water pan and let the lid therm ride between 250° & 275°. Here it is about 1 hr. after I put it in. Starting to look good!

Let it go for 2 hrs. till it hit 155° internal temp. Then pulled it to rest for about 15 min.

I zoomed in, and I think I felt like I was walking around between those roasted reds, working my way toward those beautiful Pork slices!!!

Then I woke up!!!

One Helluva experience!!!

Thanks Meat, it was very moist and tender. I think the steam from the spinich really helps keep it moist on the inside.
