Picked up a 6 pound bone in loin from Giant Eagle, on sale for $11.

Brought it home and tossed it in a basic brine for two days. The brine was a mix from this site and one other... don't remember the measurements as I didn't write anything down, but kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, molasses. Dry and rinse after the brine (no fry test) and rubbed down with a basic poultry rub.

Smoked for 2 1/2 hours over some apple wood until IT was 140, foiled on the counter for an hour. Here are some photos.



Had my parents over for supper and both raved about how good it was. Dad brought the beers, I made the food. Thanks for helping make this dinner turn out so well guys!

Terrible slice picture... it really wasn't red... stupid iPhone I guess. Either way, I got thumbs up all around and it was from all the reading done here.
 
Another loin was just smoked! A small two pounder this time.

I ended up getting rained out at work today, so what to do with myself? COOK! I had this little guy sitting in the fridge with a store bought seasoning all over it.

Fired up the MES30 AND my new AMNPS loaded with apple pellets. (This thing is awesome, you weren't lying!) and stuck it in at 250.


Sit back and wait, and have some rainy day quality time with the Mrs.

Beep beep! The therm says it's reached 140 so pulled it out and foiled.

This is actually going to be supper for the kids and I tomorrow as the Mrs. Is working late. So both you and I have to wait to dig in!

Thanks for looking!
