I have an alternative idea for you... Stewart, the President of Cookshack does his rib roasts in either one of the Cookshack electric smokers or in the FEC-100 and I've used his method several times and the result is fantastic.

Basically, he cooks the roasts at 250 for 12 minutes per pound and then drops the temp to 140 and hold the roast for at least 4 hours. This gives the juices time to recirculate.

Have to be careful following recipes of "X mins per lb" as the weight of the loin doesn't determine the cook time. Rather, it's the thickness. An 8lb 1/2 loin that is 5 inches thick will take the same amount of time to cook as a 16lb whole loin that is 5 inches thick.
