A day off and a pork loin (ideas?)

[Eastex]

I've got the day off tomorrow and will be waiting on the guy to show up and install our new fridge (ouch). In the meantime I've got a pork loin and instructions from the wife to "do something" with it. I've done the stuffed with sausage link and smoked on the WSM deal before but I'm looking for something new, any ideas? Maybe something on the rotisserie?

we like to stuff it with slivered garlic....rosemary...thyme...salt...pepper....then just roast indirect on the grill.  keep it pink! 

would be sooo good on the roti too.

My all-time favorite thing to do with a pork loin, is THIS

Tennessee Pork Loin with Nashville Sweet Barbecue Sauce


Adapted from: BBQ USA
Method: indirect grilling

1 center-cut piece or pork loin (2-1/2 to 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons Tennessee whiskey
2 tablespoons of Cold Mountain Rub (see below), or your favorite barbecue rub
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 slices bacon
Nashville Sweet Barbecue Sauce (recipe follows)
Butcher's string
2 cups of wood chips or chunks (preferably hickory), soaked for 1 hour in water to cover, then drained
for the Cold Mountain Rub:
Yield: 2 cups
1/2 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sweet paprika
for the Glaze:
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons Tennessee whiskey
1. Make the rub: Place the salt, sugar, pepper, and paprika in a bowl and stir to mix. (Actually, your fingers work better for mixing a rub than a spoon or whisk.) Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.

2. Make the glaze: Combine the butter, brown sugar, mustard, and whiskey in a saucepan and boil until syrupy, 4 to 6 minutes. Set the glaze aside.

3. Using a very sharp knife, cut the roast almost in half lengthwise through one side (stop about 1 inch from the opposite side). Open the roast up as you would a book. Sprinkle the inside of the roast with 1 tablespoon of the whiskey and let it marinate for 5 minutes. Sprinkle a third of the rub over the inside of the roast. Spread the mustard on top with a spatula, then sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the mustard. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of whiskey on top of the brown sugar. Fold the roast back together (like closing a book) and sprinkle the remaining rub over the outside.

4. Cut four 12-inch pieces of butcher's string. Position the pieces of string on the work surface so that they are parallel and roughly 2 inches apart. Place a slice of bacon across the strings so that it is perpendicular to and in the center of them. Set the roast on top of the bacon, positioning its long side parallel to the bacon. Place a slice of bacon on top of the roast. Press the remaining 2 slices against the long sides of the roast. Tie each piece of string together around the roast so that they hold the slices of bacon against it. (To temporarily hold the bacon slices in place until you can secure them with string, you can pin them with toothpicks. Remove the toothpicks once the roast is tied.) Set the pork roast aside.

5. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. If using a gas grill, place all of the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch, and run the grill on high until you see smoke; then reduce the heat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center, preheat the grill to medium, then toss all of the wood chips or chunks on the coals.

6. When ready to cook, place the pork roast on the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat, and cover the grill. Cook the roast until cooked through, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of the roast: The internal temperature should be about 160 degrees F. Start basting the roast with the glaze after 30 minutes, and continue basting every 15 minutes. If you are using a charcoal grill and the pork is not done after 1 hour, you'll need to add 12 fresh coals to each side.

7. Transfer the cooked roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the strings. Slice the roast crosswise and drizzle any remaining glaze over it. Serve Nashville Sweet Barbecue Sauce on the side.

Nashville Sweet Barbecue Sauce   printer-ready version

Yield: 3 cups

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
6 to 8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 3 to 4 lemons)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice and zest, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, mustard, onion powder, and pepper in a nonreactive saucepan and whisk to mix. Let the sauce gradually come to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until thick and flavorful, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. If not serving the sauce immediately, let cool to room temperature. Transfer to clean glass jars and refrigerate until serving; the sauce will keep for several weeks. Bring to room temperature before using.
