I put the loin on shortly after lighting the lump and kept the temp low for an hour or so, about 150F, then very slowly let the temp crepe up to a max of 250F. The IT was at that point 146F and 150F so I took the loins off. I believe the total cook time was 5 hours or slightly less. The meat is nice and moist. It is all sliced now and vacuumed sealed.
Sandwich time...
In the homestretch now, the pork loin is on the grill for smoking with Maple Leaf Lump and apple wood-
Just about to come off the grill-
Smoked.
Up close and in the house-
Sliced.
The other end is a different texture, but still goooood.
I will get the details for you:) Stay tuned.
Back with the details:
I have this one : http://breadtopia.com/store/round-la-cloche/
and I have this one also- http://breadtopia.com/store/oblong-la-cloche/
I did order mine locally because I was afraid they may get broken during shipping. At first I seasoned them with oil like you would cast iron pan and now they have a varnish like finish so that the bread does not stick. I do put the cover on for the first part of the bake in the oven but don't bother with that in the KK. Hope this helps:)
Canadian bacon is coming along, it is out of the cure and into the fridge until tomorrow. I'm hoping to be able to smoke it then.
There is a second piece on another shelf.
In the meantime I cut off some loose pieces for a taste test, gooood and should be even better after smoking.
Also made another perfect KK loaf of sourdough bread this morning.
egmiii, those are two beautiful cooks. Things do look very tasty. I am surprised that you ran out of lump at the temp and time. I wonder if there were not a lot of air spaces in the basket.
