Pork Loin with Bacon Gravy
We found a neat old piece of cast iron last week at a yard sale. Now it’s Ken’s newest favorite cast iron roaster. So Patti got me a whole pork loin that I cut down to fit and tossed in some red potato halves for our side. Then she made me some bacon gravy to top it off…
With the help of Butcher’s BBQ Pork Injection and their Butcher BBQ Honey Rub seasoning our pork loin was tender, juicy and delicious. Instead of water for our injection we used cola for another layer of flavor. Next time we’re thinking Dr. Pepper. With only three ingredients, this was easy and oh so tender. Don’t worry; we grilled some nice 2 inch loin chops with the scraps…

Our Ingredients
Directions: Pork Loin with Bacon Mushroom Gravy
You can use any oven safe pan you have or just put the pork directly onto the grill grates. I trimmed my pork loin down to fit into my pan with a little room for some potatoes. If you use a pan don’t forget to spray it with a cooking spray for easer clean up. Mix your injector solution and inject all the meat will hold and do a nice rub on it. I used my new Operation BBQ Relief ET 732 Redi Chek wireless BBQ thermometer made by Maverick. So insert the meat probe if you are using one.
You’re ready for the grill now. Roast for 45 minutes at 350 degrees (177c). I like to pull my pork off the grill around 140 degrees (60c). U.S.D.A. safe for pork is 145 degrees (62c). Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 5 to 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.
Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

Cooking In the Oven:
We have been getting requests for recipe conversions for the Pacific Living Outdoor Oven. I tell folks all the time that cooking on a Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker is just as easy as cooking in your oven. Just about anyone can do it and do it well. Think about it. You set your control knob to the temp you want, put your meat in and leave it for a set time. It is the same thing, time and temperature is what it is all about. The Louisiana Grill is just like your oven except it uses wood pellets and has wheels.
I do 45 minutes here at 350 (177c).
Note: The Pacific Living Outdoor Oven also has a smoke box.

About our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Royall, Memphis, Traeger wood pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Pizza Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
