How do I prepare a BBQ pork loin in the oven, too cold to smoke?
Take a nice smoked sausage freeze it, then take a boning knife make a cut in the center of the end of the loin and insert the sausage. Bake the loin to proper IT. The sausage gives the loin some more moister and flavour. Big hit last time I did it.- Dawg Dude
