PORK LOIN

[Jim O]

Local Superstore had boneless,sliced pork loin on sale so I picked up a cryo packed piece.

Thought I'd give it about 2 hrs of cold smoke hickory then freeze for later on the Hapoleon.

Does this sound like a good plan ?

Yep!   Are the sliced into chops?  Or roast size?

Either way, that is a good plan.

Excellent plan Jim.  The longer you can resist cooking that cold smoked loin, the better it will be.  I cold smoked some thick cut bone in pork chops, vac sealed and froze.  I cooked the last 2 about 3 months after they had been cold smoked and they were WAY better than the first ones I grilled.  Smoke flavor was much more enhanced.

Is that your boat? I am a boat person. We are presently doing a complete gut job on a 28' cruiser. Can't remember the hull design right now. We had to strip this thing right down to the hull, meaning all the stringers and cross braces, new fuel and water tanks, motors and legs both pulled out(yup twin mercruisers), transom stripped. We now have the new transom back in and the front to rear stringers are built and ready to go in. I have been around boats all my life starting at 3 with dads 16' plywood runabout and then the 36' strip planked cabin cruiser dad built from scratch. He grew up on the river here and once us kids were out on our own he and his new wife moved back to the property and then built a 20'x60' Houseboat in the style of a paddlewheeler which he intended to put a paddle on with hydraulic drive. Unfortunately he had a major stroke and ended up in a longterm care home. Look at me rambling on. Anyway if you have pics of your boat we all would love to see them. We are guys after all.  ;D ;D

Hey Quarlow !

My sweetie and I have also been around boats most of out lives. My first boat was a 14' Paceship with a 25 HP outboard.
They went up from there (2' itis). When we bought our place on the water about 33 years ago,we deceided that we'd down-size boatwise,and stayed around the size we have now.
Our boat is nothing special. It's a 20' Doral with a 327 - 300 HP Chevy and a merc outdrive.
We live on the Nottawasaga River,which empties into Georgian Bay ( Lake Huron).
We call our boat "bout time",because when we told our friends that we were getting a new boat,they said "bout time", thence the name.

We're lucky enough to keep our boat on a boat-lift at the end of our property.

10 years ago,I built a 26' x 36' garage to hold most of the toys,including the boat and trailer in the winter.

It also holds my Harley Ultra Classic, my Chrysler 300 C, my wife's Sebring,as well as the snow-blower, BDS,and as other assorted toys.

Oh ya, I also have a 12' x 26' workshop in the garage (natural gas heated).

I move the BDS into the shop and vent it out a window when I smoke (food,that is) !

That is very cool. My dad's place is right on the bank of the north arm of the Fraser river. Unfortunately our water lease goes dry at low tide so can't keep large boats at the dock.
We have a cradle for the smaller boat to sit in when the tide goes out. He has a 30'x60' shop which just has a dirt floor for now.
He also has a 32' monk that he bought just 3 months before he had his stroke. It has a Perkins diesel. It is a bit of a white elephant to us cause we don't have time to maintain it and it is sorrily going to pot. We haven't been able to sell it, most people want a plastic boat with less maintenance than a wood boat. It is starting to leak on the decks and windows. It is a shame really. We may end up almost giving it away.
I also have a 17'er that is getting a gut job and new transom and stringers and floor.
Damn I have a lot of friggin work to do.  Once my girls move on with their lives (probably in the next 2 years or so) we are going to buy dads wife a 30' trailer for her to live in and we will move into the houseboat. Then I will be there fulltime so I can work on the projects after work. We were going to buy an old 50' fishboat for a live-a-board which we would have moored just up the street from dads but then we found out his wife is going to move away to her kids area in the interior of B.C. once my dad is gone so that adjusted our plans.

Sorry I didn't mean to jump your thread. I just like talking boat. Back to the loins. I have a good stuffed pork loin recipe if you are interested. I will try to get into photobucket for my pics but I seem to have forgotten my pin. My kids love it and they make me make it often.

[Jim O]

Sure,I'd love the recipe for next time.

I just vac wrapped the chops I did this morning.
