Bone in Loin w/Q-vue

[isutroutbum]

Hi All,

Rubbed a bone in loin last night, and got up early this morning to smoke it. Came out tasty, tender and really, really moist. Mama loved it!

Recipe
2 tbs Cayanne (next time I'll go w/1 tbs. I like 'kick' a lot, but this was a little too 'kickin')
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs onion powder
1 tbs oregano (leaf)
1 tbs basil (leaf)
1 tbs kosher salt
1 tbs pepper

Smoked on the little Weber grill w/straight cherry at 200-220 until internal temp hit 140. At that point I foiled it and continued to cook until 150 (in total, about 5 hours). Pulled it, wrapped in Cling Wrap, re-foiled and into a cooler for about an hour. Coated it w/the wife's sauce once out of the cooler and enjoyed!

I didn't take but a couple pictures today.



A little closer



Thanks for lookin'!!

Best,
Trout

Trout - that looks like a mouth watering piece of grub ya smoked up. Love the thickness of the smoke ring. The bone-in loin is something I can get for a reasonable price in the supermarket. I'm printing the rub recipe to give it a whirl!

You have done yourself proud, friend...and eaten well

Thanks a lot for the comments and points guys! Frankly, I didn't expect it w/only 2 pics (I was a little forgetful today . . . late night last night

). I really appreciate it a lot!

The sauce that my wife makes was originally her mother's recipe, but she has tweaked it. She just does it off the top of her head, so I don't know it exactly, but it has the following for sure:

1) onion salt
2) garlic salt
3) celery seed (she grinds it in a mort and pestal)
4) cayanne
5) paprika
6) vinegar (I think she uses apple, though I don't know that it would really matter)
7) ketchup
8) brown sugar

That said, I am not a sweet sauce guy at all, so usually I try and talk her out of adding #8 (like I did today

). Another option is that she'll dump mine in a bowl and add sugar to her's and cook it a bit longer, then we just slather it on our respective pieces of meat. It is really heavy on the vinegar which I just love. I wish I could be more specific w/amounts, but it's been made by her so many times that she now just throws stuff in the pot, but it tastes the same each and every time. Giver' a try though if it sounds good and just experiment a little.

Again, thanks to all of you for the kind comments!

Best,
Trout

P.S. Rivet & mballi - I can't believe you guys can't find it! That's a serious bummer!! Let me know when ya want one and I'll overnight it to you.

[meatball]

Looks so good ISUtrout...and your wife's sauce sounds good. I'm like you, prefer the tangy vinegar flavor in my sauce. Awesome job on the loin.
