Two thousand United States dollars for something with the same cooking space as a $150 Weber kettle. I'm sure kamados are nice, but not that nice. Holy poo poo.

Make sure it's a shoulder or butt. If you try to cook a pork loin roast, or similar lean cut, for 12 hours you're going to have a bad time.

It’s a pork loin, so I’m not sure what the hell to do about that. :negative:

Also the Egg may not be delivered until this weekend because it’s raining where I live. :negative:

Hey if this were my purchase I would’ve spent even more.

And it doesn’t have the same cooking space as a $150 Weber kettle. It’s got an 18” diameter, so it actually has even LESS cooking space.

Do the pork loin hot and fast. But people say don't do something hot because the gaskets need to cure.

I'd shoot for 225 since that's a common temp you want to dial in and do it for a couple hours to burn off any oil or manufacturing poo poo on the inside.

I am making a pork loin roast out out on the grill for dinner tonight-- sliced open, filled with pancetta garlic and rosemary, and rolled back up. I was just browsing google image search to see if there was something out there that looked appealing in case I wanted to change my mind and it is astounding how many people have posted recipes on their food blogs that clearly do not know there is a difference between the tenderloin and the loin. These are different things, do you also confuse a beef sirloin and tenderloin?! Also jeez, don't cook it to 160F.

If you search for pork loin, google will also give you tenderloin recipes, and vice versa. It's one of those things where they're trying to be helpful but failing, so that's definitely not helping.

Oh it isn't just google. People say in their recipes to use a tenderloin and their photos are clearly of a loin roast. Some blogs use the terms interchangeably in their recipes. At one point it is a loin, at another we've got a tenderloin. I even saw one recipe for slow smoked pork loin, which was cooked in an oven-- shudder. I don't want a pork tenderloin those are not enough meat for a man like me. See, internet, this is a smoked pork loin roast courtesy of CapnBry's big green egg.


Ah gently caress me. Looking at the photo, that might be mistaken for a tenderloin roulade if prepared by very small people with good knives. That's over two pounds of pork right there! EDIT: Oh I shot it at 55mm. Wow it really makes everything look so tiny.

Is there any advantage to using the EGGnitor instead of a chimney to light lump charcoal in an Egg?

I'd never use a chimney for slow temp startup. My SOP is an electric igniter under a few lumps just to get them started.

Wow that EGGniter is pretty neat. They couldn't integrate a 30 second timer display on it too though? I can't count Mississippis for 90 seconds!

I always just use a blowtorch and a can of coleman propane. Hit it 20 seconds in 3 places and we're good to go. I've tried using those webber parafin cubes as well but I found them to be a bit fiddly to have just enough airspace around them for them to burn properly but embedded enough in lump to actually ignite something. It always seemed to go more slowly than the blowtorch as well.

I like the heat gun against a couple of coals. Always seems to do the trick of igniting just the coals I want to start.

I use a half chimney for my WSM actually, helps it come up to temp really quick. I also have a performer though, so i can just use the propane start to light the chimney while I'm filling the water bowl/prepping the probes/blahblah

If you're gonna fire up the Egg for smoking, use that Eggnitor thing, looks like a knockoff Looftlighter which is what I use (:smugdog:) when I fire up coals for smoking in everything but my PBC. It'll be good.

Did you guys get a remote smoker thermometer with that big package? If not, you will absolutely need one.

What are y'all smoking this weekend? I finally made a batch of chicken thighs that turned out really great, took to smoke quite well. There is a place in town that specializes in tomahawk ribeyes so I may go over one of those and do a reverse sear/smoke for a group dinner before a show tomorrow.

I don't foil either. poo poo just takes forever.

Though I will say that I'm pretty sure the pit probe for the Flameboss reads higher than what I'm used to (maybe because the FB alligator clips to the grill rather than being held above it by a clip?) because pork shoulders started taking an insane amount of time compared to what I'm used to. I think I'll start running at 240 or 250 instead of 225 when I'm using the FB.
