-Smoked with cherry in the Shirley Fab smoker.

-Rested for 30 min and then sliced thin for sandwich

Sandwich: Crusty Italian bread slathered with a house made garlic herb aioli. Slices of Porchetta topped with caramelized onions and a spinach arugula mix.

Looks great John! I didn't know the skin would cook down to something soft. How long was the cook?

It gets crispy at high heat.

I cooked at 375F for 3.5 hours, then seared off in the firebox

I'll have a large sandwich, chips and unsweet tea please.

That is one fine sandwich John.

I haven't had porchetta in a long time and now I'm jealous. Fantastic!

I also never had it off a smoker before either. Does it pick up much smoke at 375?
