I bought a couple of these roasts when I saw them. Never had this cut before, and it was real cheap. Thawed one out, brined it overnight in the fridge, then injected it with a bit of Tony C’s butter/jalapeño marinade. Here is what I started with.

I wanted it to be a more round uniform shape so it would cook evenly on the rotisserie. So I tied it up then put it on the spit. It was very even weight wise, so no counter weight needed. My neighbor lent me his Meater +. This thing is amazing. I have to get one.

Overall cook time was around 3 hours. The surprising thing to me was the ambient temp, right at the meat stayed around 250 degrees the whole cook. I was worried that the Meater would burn up over a wood fire, but it worked flawlessly. Off the spit & ready to rest a bit.

Homemade mushroom gravy, and box potato’s. Sorry, but I like them out of the box.

Next night we added some beans from our little garden, and some of Judy’s homemade sourdough bread.

I have not been happy with some of the items that I have bought from WFF lately. However I will order a couple more of these. They just absolutely melt in your mouth, almost like I SV’d them. Thanks for stopping by folks!

Looks great. Haven't seen the roast. Our local grocery store caries the steals every now and then. I always stock up on them.

Fantastic Al ! The pork loins with the light and dark meat are the ones to get .
I used the Tappecue Air probe 2 when I spun the beef the other day . Love that thing .
 
Looks like a nice cut of meat and you did it justice Al. Plates.look delicious.
TNJAKE TNJAKE , I was gonna echo that about the green grass. A good 3.5 months away for that yet for us. :emoji_disappointed:

Looks great Al, I thinks its basically just the rib end of the loin where they get the country style ribs, instead of cutting in halves to make the ribs they just leave them whole and call them a ribeye roast.

Is that what a pork ribeye roast is?
That makes sense because it was so cheap.
This will be like brisket, cheap until everybody discovered it.

Heck of a good looking plate Al.....also I'm jealous to see green grass and sunshine lol
Thanks Jake, but we get hurricanes too!

Thanks Cliff, I’m just starting to use the kettle more lately. Since I sold all my smokers & got the RecTec, I still enjoy a real fire & the kettle is my drug.

Al, that roast is a beauty.

Al, I'd surely pull up a chair for a plate of that!! Nice cook!!

Thanks guys!!

Thanks Jim,
All I know is it sure was good, and I don’t understand why every grocery store doesn’t have them.

Comes off the loin . Ribeye roast is the section of the loin it's cut from I believe .
We're used to hearing the names with beef , but it goes for all animals . It's a great cut of pork , and you nailed it . If you buy whole boneless pork loins you'll get that section .

Al, both of those dinners look fantastic sir!! Gotta admit though, that roast is nothing short of spectacular. I don't know that I've ever seen a more perfectly cooked pork roast than that. Absolute porcine perfection!!

Looks incredible Al - I think open fire rotisserie cooking is the best and your roast looks like it proves it!
