I’m getting pretty impatient though, so I might just run to the store and pick up a pork butt or something with my own money some time in the next few days. Only problem is I don’t have much money, and I have to be careful with what I do have.

227°.

The loin is at 140°. Dad is insisting we leave it on until it’s at 170°, even though the website says to pull it at 145°. I don’t really feel like arguing so I’m just doing what he says and if it’s ruined then that’s his fault.

Honestly I don’t really give a single poo poo about this particular smoke at all so I’m just going with it. I told my folks that we should pull the stupid thing at 145° and they won’t listen. If I pull it before 170° then they’re gonna throw a fit and stick it in the oven until it gets to 170°, so it’s not like it matters what I do.

My dad is getting 170° from a guide on some old as poo poo terrible meat thermometer we’ve had for years. I’ll post a pic of it later.

You should have cut the loin in half and done half to 145 and half to 170, just to show them the difference, or even just to not ruin your own meal.

FDA used to have a serious scare on about Trichinosis in pork and chicken that meant they needed to be cooked to death to be safe to eat. In the 1940's it was a few hundred cases a year, barely double digits these days due to improved food sanitation in meat packing.

Even then you only have to get it over 145 for a few seconds to be safe.

Picture time!

Here’s the meat still wrapped. It’s about 2.5 lbs.


The meat after I applied the rub and injected it with apple juice. You might notice the recipe I used calls for two kinds of rub; I didn’t have any other rub on-hand so I just rubbed it in the mix of salt, garlic, and pepper. I also didn’t have any pork injection stuff so I just injected it with straight apple juice. Not very interesting or creative, but I didn’t have much to work with and it came out good in the end so :shrug:.


Pic of the loin on the grill just before I pulled it off. I had to put it on the cast iron grate because the stainless steel one had some crud on it. So now our cast iron grate has some sauce and poo poo on it that will need to be cleaned off later. I’m not thrilled about that but whatever.


Here’s what the pork looks like on the inside. I took two pics of this: one with the flash and one without. This is the one with the flash because I think it shows better detail.


Overall I’m pretty happy with how this smoke went. I wasn’t crazy about the rub or the apple juice injection, and I think it actually ended up being too moist, but the smoke flavor was definitely there and my parents loving loved it. Dad was floored by how good it was.

Oh, and here’s a pic of that meat thermometer dad got the 170° from. It’s a piece of crap we bought at the grocery store like 20 years ago.

I actually chortled when I saw the pork loin with chicken feet. I thought for sure Gitmo was having us on at that point.

Also, that thermometer is probably broken as gently caress. If you dad is able to drop a grand on a BBQ tell him to get a Thermoworks Thermapen. Top of the line thermometer.

I told him we at least needed to get a Thermoworks Smoke and I think he agrees. We just haven’t made the purchase yet.

I’ve tried to get him to buy a Classic Thermapen before and he turned it down, but I think that’s because I didn’t sell it right. I didn’t really know what to tell him when he asked why we needed to spend $80+ on a Thermapen and why the old pice of poo poo from the grocery store wasn’t just as good. If anyone has a pitch for me to get him to bite on that then I’m all ears.

You should probably grind the old seasoning off of that grate and reseason since you left crud on it. Tapeworms and stuff, you know. :eng101:

Those pens take at least 10 seconds to come close to the right temp, and the probe is so large that you can't do thin/delicate foods. You can test your current thermometer by dipping it in ice water and boiling water.

I have a classic thermapen and it's great, but if I had to buy another I would get the MK4. Better waterproofing and a AAA battery instead of a button battery. They often have refurb sales so sign up for their mailing list and you'll be able to get one at a discount before long.
