Churchi 's pork loin

[Aussie Ora]

I thought I would try to do a pork loin the way churchi did and stuffed up lol. I scored the skin and salted it and left it in the fridge overnight to dry outwanted Ora to sit at 250 it decided 300 was more appropriate. OK so let it heat soak at 300 for 2.5 hrs. On it goes on the extender rackI upped the temp to 400Looks like the crackle is happening got it to 145 loving the thermapen but not the crackle I was afterbut the meat was tender as will give it another go

Looks delicious. 

Have you thought of cutting the fat cap off and cooking it separately just for cracklin.

I've cooked chicken skins separately just to eat crispy chicken skins.

I thought of getting it ready in the oven first then finishing it off on Ora. I've done crackle that way before but want to nail in one hit. The rotisserie method does this nicley will give it another go I'm sure churchi will chime in with the exact method

I'd go with the rotisserie method, myself. YMMV

Also, it looks like you scored it too deep to me, just barely cut through the surface, maybe 1/4" deep. Might have been why you reached your IT before getting the crackle you wanted.

Guess you have it  better down under. In the US it is very hard, if not impossible, to find pork loin with the skin on.  I have tried several times to get cracklin on various things but always failed. I hope someone has a secret.

Oh why am i only seeing this post now @Aussie Ora! haha. 

How have you been doing them sense? Have you had another go?

I quite often do pork belly on the KK. I am doing one tonight in fact.

Like you mentioned, cutting too deep through the skin will not work well for crackle. Cutting just enough is the trick.

I am not so organised these days and dont get around to salting it the night before. I do however pour boiling hot water over the rind before i salt it before putting it onto the KK.

The trick is to cook it enough, but not too much so the meat is ruined. Id much rather have a good cook on the meat than the best crackle you can cook with over cooked meat.
