Okay brethren brothers and sisters, here is the evidence after asking and receiving advice on using apple and cherry wood for the first time.
I decided to start with the combo of apple chips plus cherry chips.
I used 1 part cherry to 2 parts apple because in my taste memory the cherry came out stronger.
Here is the pork early on, resting in the BSKeg and developing some juices, so I hit it with the cherry and apple chips, dry.

Kept a steady 300f for most of the cook, and had a loverly whitish blue smoke happening that you can just see,

Finally, I think all the fearful overcookers of pork need to look away now.
This is the finish shot, and look Ma, I am using the fastest thermapen in ze vold!
This is pork loin, and doesn't have a lot of gelatin to keep it moist so I get it out and rest it at this temperature.
This gives me a juicier tender finish and we are well past the temp that nasties can survive through
The hot finish gets me the crackling and bark that I am looking for here.
TFO smooched me so that means it was a success.
I loved the flavours and could clearly taste both the apple and the cherry.
Such strong motivation to use cherry and smoke a salmon, in my head it tastes sensational!

Thank you for the wisdom brothers!
 
62 C? Overcooked! Overcooked! I bet it climbed to 65!:becky:

Seriously though, that's a pretty roast!

Once it hits 58 it is there so you are dead right actually.:thumb:
The state I was in I was lucky to find the Keg, those Havana Club Especiales creep up on you when you pour 'em like TFO does!:icon_blush::heh:

It was soooo delicious, thanks Guerrey mate and all who advised!:-D

I pull mine at 135 F which is almost 58 C. I've had the problem of finding the kettle myself under similar conditions.:roll::becky:
 
That motivation to smoke salmon with cherry? That's a good impulse - follow that - you'll be glad you did! I've been using Wampus' method with fantastic results.

Looks awesome! Any sliced shots? :hungry:

pretty roast there. i almost always use either cherry or apple wood with wehatever smoke i am doing. i like cherry, apple, and almond shells together. the smoke smells almost like a perfume, or in my case, a cologne
 
Looking great Bucc! Love trying out new smokes! Been stuck on lychee and almond for a while now! :becky:

Cheers

Hey Buc,

Scared me for a minute. I thought you just seared the outside of it like a big steak.

Then I remembered, you guys don't know how do read temps.:doh:

Just kidding bud....the color on that baby is really gorgeous.
