somebody shut me the fark up.
I used Bill's Pork Loin method on Sunday while preparing Roast Pork Loin, baked acorn squash, fresh mashed potatoes and gravy, and apple crisp for about 100 people.
I used my Pyrex thermometer to keep an "eye" on the temps. I rubbed the loins down with oil (remember, I'm doing this in a convection oven rather than a smoker) and then salt and peppered them (total of 5 loins from 9-10.5 pounds).
Cooked them at about 300 degrees up to 165 then foiled them and put 'em back in the oven til 185. Pulled them and into the cooler (watched the temp go up to 190) until time to server. They didn't make three hours but had come down to about 170 when I sliced 'em.
The meat came out great. I didn't spray them as I would have if in the smoker and I was making gravy so didn't want the apple flavor in the gravy. But the meat was really moist and slice great.
So, the technique transfers over -- if I'd had a slow cooker oven I'd have tried slow cooking them at 250. Actually, I've done this in an Alto-Shamm so oven before and it works great.
