House has been for sale for 24 hours and I am ready to be done. All the cleaning and getting rid of stuff looks nice but damn is it a lot of work

There is one positive about turkey ham. It does help in weight loss, it tasted so bad that you don’t want to eat it after half a sandwich.

Yeah, I’m guessing that was the problem. Going to need to switch it up. This is the most pain I have been in in a long time.

After having a double ear infection about 6-7 years ago, now I understand why babies were so unhappy when they have ear infections. That was just miserable. It sucks when you can't move any part of your face without something inside your head hurting

Yeah, I kinda want a bullet so I’m out of my misery. Not being able to eat anything close to solid food sucks as well.

D-E-D spells "DED".

Which is what this thread is right now

The thread shall arise!

Hey, thinking gr8 might be the info guy here. I forget how long to smoke a pork loin. Got a 7 pounder and will smoke it all and freeze half for easy heat up layers. How long am I looking at for this? Going at 225 and I run to 148-150. Thinking 4-5 hours but don’t remember exactly. Haven’t smoked stuff for a bit and was always doing pulled pork, ribs, brisket type things that you ran to 195/200 to break down the connective tissues.

And note that he specifically said pork loin and not turkey loin. Might make a difference.

Haven't done pork loin in a while. If I see them cheap I would certainly consider doing one.
I usually take it to 155 as I prefer it more medium than medium rare
At 7 pounds I would assume it is a whole pork loin. Being that I would do it on my Weber grill I would cut it in half first. At 225 I think 4-5 hours is a pretty good estimate

I may half it since we plan to freeze some anyhow. (Reminds me that rib guy hasn't charged me yet for the daughters graduation, better call him). I just put in on a pan to lay out and start a slow temp rise. Will season it in a bit also. Some go with 145 as their key point but I think it is just a little cold in the center, why I bump it another 5 degrees. I also let everything rest a bit while wrapped in foil and a large towel in a cooler.

Thinking this may be good for the tailgate. Tempted to buy an inverter generator and we can heat this or some of the BBQ pulled pork we have for the tailgate. Also thinking of just grilling sliders for it. I already own two generators (but the more industrial level ones) so buying a third seems like it may be extreme overkill. Also, many times, we have tents we can go into and eat there. Several have free beer also, so it makes it less ideal to have one.

Did you brine it? I usually brine a loin as it is so lean.

No, I have a pan that I keep full (noticed a pin hole in it last time, couldn't figure out why I had so much drainage, so I am gorilla gluing that since I forgot to replace it) to keep humidity up. Usually does a nice job. I think that is why people go low temp on them also, Above 150 it starts to dry it out. I also will spray it with a water/apple vinegar spray every so often. I do an olive oil rub down, then rub with brown sugar to basically seal it as much on the outside as possible. I then put the seasoning on it. Think I'm going with a lazy seasoning this time and just doing some store stuff. The wife and the kid will drown it in BBQ sauce anyhow.
