Wow...that looks great. Too bad Vidalia season is over. Those smoke up real nice.

 

[hhookk]

wow that looks delicious. What did you do with the garlic? I don't see it on your plate? Is it mixed with the taters?

 

[richp692]

Yes it is in the taters, well 1 head of it is. The rest will be vacupacked and frozen.

Thanks for the good reviews everyone. Everyone here went nuts over it; Both the loin and the taters. And just like in the forum, I got mixed reviews on the asparagus. lol

How about parting with the particulars on the pork loin, times, rubs, etc!
How do like that smoker?

 

[richp692]

It was a whole 10 loin cut in half I used my own rub but this time I added some ground apple chips to the rub. I smoked it with apple and sugar maple at around 230-240 for 6 hours. I took it out at 165.
The smoker works great. My only problem is that at anything below 235 degrees I don't get a good burn on the wood. I am thinking about lowering the smoke box a little, to bringing it closer to the flame.

Tonight; Cuban sammies with some of the leftovers.

[jts70]

[placebo]

Very nice, extra credit for presentation.

I'm curious to know if freezing the garlic worked or not. Have you had a chance to thaw any out and try it yet?

Great Smoke... everything looks real good.. You made me crave some Taters.
