This could be great or a big fail

Walking around the meat department I found something I have never seen or cooked before. A pork loin rib half for $1.49lb since meat is priced stupid these days I grabbed one. Looked around on the forums and decided to give it a go today. Rubbed it down with some code 3 spices rescue rub and the 9lb rib roast is nestled in the smoker for the day. Not sure how long this will take but gonna treat it like a pork loin. Any tips would be greatly appreciated about cook temp and how to treat it. If I need to wrap it etc. thanks

Not sure on cook times. But like you, i‘d treat like a pork loin. Looks like a great start. I’ll be following with fork and knife in hand for the finish.

I was gonna say those are common at Schnucks , ten I saw that's where you got it .
That's a great price for that too .
Treat it like a loin as you said . I wouldn't wrap it .

First time I have seen one at Schnucks but then again we only recently have schnucks in warrenton.

definitely looks good, will be watching!

Schnucks puts them on sale every couple months or so. Lately the sale price has been about .20 higher.
If it turns out good, sale ends Tuesday or wait a month or so.

Heck , you're close . I saw they closed the Krogers on 47 , is that the new Schnucks ?
Schnucks has a great meat department . Some great sausages made in house too .

No the old Kroger building is empty now they built a new schnucks off of veterans memorial right next to hwy 70. It’s smaller than most of their other stores but I like having something other than Walmart close by. I keep meaning to travel to Troy and check out Kroger seems like they run decent meat specials sometimes.

Looks great and in for the rest of the cook/smoke
Good price and nice piece of pork

I like to cut them into double thick chops .

That is what I was thinking when I saw it , would do a couple very nice loin chops
Cut a pocket in the chop and fill with onions mushroom's and some cheddar. Mmmmmm

Oh man that sounds good maybe I should go grab another before the sale is over.

Made one of those a month ago. Same situation saw it on big sale and took a chance. It was awesome. Don’t have access to recipe right now but I think I cooked at 300 or 350 on pellet grill. Pulled off at 145 if I remember correctly. It was very good.

If I had the room I would grab a few as there is always something that can be made with those .

Sitting at the 4hr mark close to being done 10 degrees to go.

Awesome looking !!

 

[NefariousTrashMan]

Pulled it off after almost 5 hours

I’m happy with how it turned out the smell was amazing.

The slice was tricky but I figured it out after messing up a couple. The flavor was great and was very juicy. Overall I would call it a success and I’m tempted to run back to the store and buy more to toss in the freezer or break down into thick chops.

My lunch for tomorrow gonna be eating like a king at work this week.
