OK, so finished the build this morning.
It's currently running empty as i type, just being seasoned.
I picked up a 2KG joint of pork lion this evening, along with some spices i need for the rub, ready for tomorrow.
Any tips on cooking times, etc?
Cheers
Luke

Hi, pretty sure that pork shoulder takes about 1.5 hours per pound of meat. Not sure if loin will be the same, either way have fun.

you dont want to take the loin to such a high temp (such as the 190'sF). As its a lean cut and doesnt have the fat content. The safe temp in the UK is 165f (75c) i would aim for that when cooking the loin.

I can see that this is where a lack of a probe can be a problem....

Not traditional BBQ - but I would cut a slit a hole through the centre and stuff it with a breadcrumb, herb, and bacon stuffing.
As Toby said - it is very lean.
