Premium Perfect Mix Smoked Pork Rib Roast

Pork Rib Roasts can be found either as bone-in or deboned. For the most part I prefer to buy my boneless pork loins at Costco and butcher the roast into center cut pork chops and roasts. Since there is only the two of us these days a ten pound pork loin easily provides us with about five meals. My favorite cut from the pork loin is the rib roast end. The roast originates in the rib area of the loin and contains a bit more marbling which makes it more flavorful. The pork rib roast is the counterpart of a standing beef rib roast or a rack of lamb.

As I continue to use the cookinpellets.com Premium Perfect Mix (100% Hickory, Cherry, Hard Maple, Apple) and 100% Hickory I'm discovering just how wonderful the results are. With other wood pellets that use Alder or Oak fillers the flavor profiles tend to blend into one an other cause for the most part the 70 to 75% filler wood is what dominates the infused smoke into the meat. With these pellets you're getting the full 100% hard wood flavor(s) smoke infused into the meat, poultry, fish, etc. First chance you get you should try these pellets and judge for yourself. As I've said, you won't be disappointed!
