I had some friends coming over yesterday. I used a pork run on a 4.5 pound loin.
Dropped it in the smoker at 220 for just under 6 hours and it came out wonderful. I sprayed it with apple juice around once an hour.
I apologize for not getting a pic to post. Turned our very teder and juicy. The ladies who usually don't finish their plate went back for seconds.
Thought I'd share.
I guess we can let you slide just once on missing the picture requirement. ;D
Glad to here the loin turned out well and folks complimented you on the 2nds, 3rds, etc.
Of course now you must realize that you will do the cooking on all of your future get togethers. :o
Oh man...........NO PICTURES????????? I wanted to see pictures, dude!!!!!
You better have some NEXT TIME!
Just KIDDING!

Accually I already do all the cooking for get togethers, now I can just do it that much better ;)
For those who want pics, how about some pulled pork, a italian sausage fatty with pepperoni and Motz cheese, and eggs wraped in sausage and smoked?

I got scared, it was an 18 hour smoke and the outside was very dark, I thought I ruined it... then I tore it open...

And the final products

Looking good scootertgm!
Let me ask you a question, Did you have the smoke generator going the whole time ?
Some people take that dark outside (the "bark") and chop it up and mix it with the pulled pork.
Nice fatty!
What do you call those sausage egg balls ? (I guess I just did... :D )
I would say that you redeemed yourself on the no picture with the loin. everything looks great.
Congrats on the pork loin Scooter... and the pictures look fantastic! ;)
Ya gotta spill the beans on the "rooster eggs"! :D
I'm sure you started with hardboiled eggs... Oh wait... what about pickled eggs! 8)

Scooter, I am all about the little balls with egg in the center, I am doing a fatty tomorrow and would like some more info! That looks great!
Hey, great recovery on the no picture thing. That was close... I am also interested in more info on the sausage / egg --- fatty products. LOOKS GREAT
Scooter, You sure can deliver. Home run there.
I'm in luv! You can cook for me anytime scooter!
Can we say Scotch Eggs?

OK, I'd swear I replied to this thread...
The eggs - Two pounds jimmy dean sausage and a dozen eggs. Hard boil the eggs and remove the shells. Tear off a hunk of meat and wrap the eggs and smoke them at 250 for two to three hours and enjoy.
As for the shoulder, I smoked it till 165 then foiled it. I left it on the smoke although technically I could have shut off the smoke generator at that point. Pulled it at 188. I was going to wait for 190 but it was getting really late.
Let it rest for an hour then put it in the fridge and got some sleep. Next morning it pulled as easy as a hot knife through melted butter.
I didn't care for the taste of the bark myself, probably the rub I used.
I thought I had replied earlier, sorry about that.

Scooter,
You did reply earlier. There was a problem with the forum and some posts were lost.
I was looking through a cooking website a few days ago and came accross a version of these eggs. They were called Scotch Eggs. Scooter yours look much better than the ones I saw. The version I read rolled the egg in bread crumbs after putting the suasage on and baked them. Great job, now I will have to try them they look delicious
Daryl
Damm......you win great pic. also egg balls look good will try them
seemore
Scooter, I got rave reviews from everyone that tried my version of the Egg Fatty balls Your idea inspired me!
Well, I can't take full credit. I saw them on the smoking meat forums (I think the site is no longer up though) and tried it myself.
They were definately a hit with the folks that tried them. Glad they worked for you!
