The Best Thing I Ever Ate Challenge- Reef Pork Chop- Lots of Q-View

troy fuller · Jul 9, 2011

All Right, here is the GOAL:

And a cut view:

There is no recipe and only some few bits of information available on the web . . . .

And now for the START . . .

Had to cut in half, but also have a snack piece :-)

Cuban Mojo style brine . . . overnight in the fridge:

Tomorrow will tell the story . . . stay tuned for some serious Bear View!

Well be waiting, I hope you smoke longer than the 15 min sticker on the package.

You have my attention Troy...I'll be here waiting!!!

All Right, first mistake . . . I purchased the vacuum packed, bone-in loin and did not have the butcher remove the back bone. I am going to attempt to do it simply with a knife, but all the instructions I can find on the web use a band saw . . . If you don't have to get creative from time-to-time, you are not really cooking.

SUCCESS! Remember, always have the butcher remove the back bone! Here is how she looks . . .

Straight out of the Brine:

Now removing the chine bones . . .

READY FOR RUB!

SmokinAl · Jul 10, 2011

Oh Boy this is gonna be good!

troy fuller · Jul 10, 2011

Rubbed and Ready . . . Trying to stabilize smoker at 200 . . . hoping for three hours of smoke and then to pull at 135.

Super Close for Bear . . .

SmokinAl · Jul 10, 2011

Now the RESULTS:

First the snack . . .

Snack with Bear View:

Out of the smoker, almost exactly three hours:

Three MONSTER chops:

Up close and Personal:

alelover · Jul 11, 2011

Beautiful. Nice job. Like something from a magazine.

Awesome looking, nice job. If I try it, I want it to look like that! Thanks for the share.

My hat's off to ya my friend.

Very well done and awesome Qview

Thanks for sharing

troy fuller · Jul 12, 2011

Thanks for the comments everyone!! It was a really good and interesting project. Now that I have done it once, there will be many more times.

With the exception of removing the chine bone, this is actually pretty easy to do!
