Grilled Pork Loin

[The_Kapn]

Not to hijack (once again) the tenderloin thread-------

Mrs Kapn wanted "thick cut" pork chops done on the grill.
None to be had and I did not feel like bothering a "weekend duty meat cutter".
So, I picked up a center cut pork loin and did my own version.
A buck a pound cheaper too!
Chad assured me this would work--and he was right!

Brined 3 cuts in salt, sugar, water, and pineapple juice brine for 4 hours.
Mrs Kapn wanted hers plain--Okie Dokie. :lol:

Dusted my three with Kevin's (HomeBBQ) Black Jack Seasoning--great all around spice for grilling!
Wrapped in bacon.

Put them on the gasser, moderate heat, with Jack Daniels chips along with some sliced squash and 4 pineapple slices!
Cooked pork to 150-160 internal.

Came out "well beyond edible" :lol:
Moist, tender, and perfectly done!
Final plate had sliced cucumber, onion, and tomatoes--Awesome :lol:

Sorry for the pic quality--too hungry to do a ThirdEye ot Rick (my heros) deal

Looks great! Did it satisfy the misses?
Can you share that marinade?
I tried a oj, br. sugar, salt...for the butt, left for about 12 hours, but it seems like it didn't soak up, it was moist, but bland...

How was your comp. last week?

Good looking grub you got there

 

[Puppyboy]

Good lookin eats Kapn. Man I gotta try the pineapple thing.

Meat looks like chops we get at Costco, always good. That pineapple looks even better.

 

[Smokin Gator]

Yeah... that looks good and all.... but where is Karen's plain one?????

You need a drum smoker.

I've got to get into more pineapple. That looks good on the chops. Did you jazz up the pineapple with any brown sugar or anything?

Chad says that is what most of the "boneless pork chops" really are :lol:
And they jack up the price a buck a pound. Tastes the same.
I think that is also what they use when they make up the "stuffed" pork chops and charge a Jillion dollars a pound for them :twisted:

She pick a small one. Coming up to temp quick, so moved to cooler side of cooker. Just out of the pic to left.
Had 3 distinct heat zones to work with! Love it.

Not that creative
Something to try next time, for sure.
I am 'sperimenting with pineapple in pork and poultry now. Great potiential!

Inspired by the Kapn, I marinated some boneless pork chops in Guava nectar, salt, sugar and water. I would have grilled some sliced Guava, but I don't even know what they look like. Just finished eating them. Very good, I'll do this again.

Loins from Sam's are our usual source for chops. I'll slice a whole loin and foodsaver the cuts in meal size bags for the freezer.
