Took a 4 lb Pork Loin and stuffed it with homemade breakfast sausage, mushrooms, celery, Mexican blend shredded cheese, and cabbage. I'm a big fan of cabbage and wanted to see what it would look and taste like.

Cooked the ingredients, mixed in some cheese and stuffed the Pork Loin in a pocket that my Butcher prepared for me. That baby is stuffed to the gills ;D Rubbed the Loin with EVOO and Fagundes Seasoning.

PID set to 225ºF. Applied 3 hours of Hickory smoke and pulled it at an IT of 167ºF. I realize that's a bit high for some but SWMBO insists that there shall be NO pink when it comes to Pork :-\ Here's a shot before I pulled the Stuffed Pork Loin from the OBS. Took me 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Made some Dungeness Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms for a side dish ... after all, they'll be sitting on the side of my dish ;D ;D

You can see how the pocket provides an ample space for stuffing. Unfortunately, all the cheese oozed out during the smoke. Not before it infused a cheesy flavor to the stuffing ... but made a mess inside the OBS. Sausage and cabbage are a good combination together. Will have to post my "Bubble and Squeak" recipe with is mostly comprised of sausage and cabbage ... Good stuff Homey ...
