Kielbasa Stuffed Pork Loin - QView

[article=""][h2]Kielbasa Stuffed Pork Loin (Dirt Guy Inspired)[/h2]
I had a pork loin I wanted to do something with, as well as a pack of kielbasa in the fridge I hadn't cooked up in awhile. So a post from Dirt Guy awhile back inspired me to give this a whirl.

Here’s the pre-stuffed version. Trimmed the fat cap a bit after this

Shanked the middle of it, slid in the kielbasa (giggling while telling my wife that she's gotta see this)

Covered in a dusting of my first homemade rub. I call it "709" (Full name is 7097556EL3 Computer File 9-3). Started as Jeff's rub and it always went over so well, but I wanted to make something to call my own so I made some modifications over the past year in each new batch I made. Thanks Jeff

Smoked for about 3 hours in the UDS over some blue bag kingsford, apple wood chunks, and a few hickory chips. Foiled with some Yoshidas per a Ron P moment, and continued the heat until it reached 165

This looked like a loaf of bread when I sliced it up

Good smoke penetration around the edges. It even looks like the kielbasa lent some flavor to the surrounding meat

Grated up some pepperjack and heated a bit till it melted over each piece

Ate with some leftover chile beans from my moms New Years function, as well as a cream cheese and red pepper fritter made fresh by my mother in-law

It turned out real tasty, I would only try a hot link like Dirt Guy did rather than a kielbasa for the next one. Thanks for looking

Ok, I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!! Those look tasty and also like a lot of fun!  got a couple andouille and polish sitting around, and a twin pack of small tenderloins that were on sale. Thanks for sharing this!

That looks pretty good. Interesting to see the kielbasa give off a little ring of its own. Man, you made me crack up out loud at work when you said you called your wife in to see that. HAHAHA! 

 Too funny, I would have done the same thing. Sick minds think a like! 

Good work on the loin.
