Just ordered a nice crown roast for Monday,will remove membrane,  and will marinate for 6 hrs with a simple marinate, 2 Cups apple juice, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup soy sauce , then pat dry, coat with  1/4 cup sweet mustard / 1/4 cup BBQ sauce /  1 teaspoon horseradish mixture to the outside, then add my rub ...

to the inside, tie it up, then rub all over the outside ,, will smoke at 225.. and will glaze with some BBQ sauce at  like 120 degrees,  and pull and cover to rest at like 143 deg internal,

Just picked it up, will marinate early morning .. this should be fun ....

It/s almost 8 lbs, and is an 8 bone crown roast ...5.99 lb   


I am all ears ... for any suggestions ...

It sounds like you have an awesome plan... the only thing I could think of to maybe add to it would be to pull it at 135-137 And let it rest till your broiler or grill cones to temp and then crisp up the extiror for ~10 minutes. No matter what you do, I'm interested in seeing how it turns out!
 
Well, I trimmed it all up nice, learned from this asian guy on you tube ... he has knife skills ..

It is marinating, will rub it down at 11 oclock, tie it up and try to get it on at noon ...

2 Hrs in now, right at 120, sauce time now ...maybe will pull, rest and wrap at 141 instead of 142 ...looking good now ...

sauced up and looks like candy ....



wife made a tray of homemade stuffing and a tray of coleslaw ...
 
Well here it is, pulled at 141 .. will let rest and make sure I hit 145 covered, will come back and show it plated with sides ...seemed like forever to get the last 10 degrees ..

here is a look ... damn,looks like candy ... 

next pics will be plated in a 1/2 hr or so ....
 
Tell you what, It's hard to type with mouth full, tastes great, real juicey, barely hit 145 , hit 145 on 1 probe, 146 on other, here is some pics, I am pleased ... 

has a smoke ring... not as much as I would like to see, but at 145, real juicey ...




had a great day ...i guess 145 is the real deal on a loin .....
 
pulled at 141 .. took about 15 minutes to reach 145 after pulling at at 141 ...  but finally did ..we loved it .. actually 1 probe said 146,other said 145.. was real good and super moist .. lol ... how can you complain about 1 inch thick bone in chops ????
