Cracker Crusted T-Loin(Qview)

[raptor700]

I had a pork tender loin thawed in the fridge and thought I would try something different with it. (I was out of bacon)

I rubbed it with EVOO and rolled it in some crushed "Keebler" Italian Herb crackers.

Smoked at 250º with Lump and pecan

Rolled in the crumbs and ready to smoke

Pulled at IT of 150º

You can see where I probed after 2 hrs, It was very juicy

Here's one for the Bear,

Not a bad smoke ring

It was very moist and had a nice crispy crust.

I will definitely do this again. It was a nice change from the normal bacon wrap.

Thanks for checking out my loin

I don't usually smoke pork tenderloins, but it looks like you hit that one perfectly!

Good luck and good smoking.

  Thank you King,

I think you will like it.

Great looking loin, I like the crust idea. 

 Thanks Meat,I didn't have bacon so I thought I would roll in crumbs to keep the loin from drying out.

It worked very well.

AWESOME !!!

Outstanding BearView, as usual !!!

You always point out one pic as a BearView, but you usually show from 2 to 8 pics that qualify as BearViews!! (last 2 on this thread)

I wish I could take pics like that ! 

Thanks Rap !

Bear

Great smoke ring and I like the cracker crust idea. Final plated shot is making me hungry.

 

[alelover]

That looks awesome Rap. I love crumbs but I never thought of smoking them. Definitely trying that.

Somebody posted  some really good chicken that had a thick crust of rub on it.  That got me thinking about crumbs or cornmeal.  Now Raptor has posted this great looking tenderloin, so I know it will work.  I can't wait to try a crumb and rub mix with the olive oil.

Good luck and good smoking

NO BACON???????

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

sheesh

Excellent thought!  Bacon grease instead of olive oil.  Truly perverted goodness!

Good luck and good smoking.

 

[venture]

Wouldn't you know it?  It was Raptor that posted that delicious looking chicken I was talking about.  LOL

Good luck and good smoking.

Looks delicious!! Great Job!!

I have a chunk of tenderloin in the freezer and the smoker is going to work this weekend. I have got to give that a try!!

IMHO - if you are making MOINKs and fatties, you are going to run out of bacon!!

Great pics
