\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Picked up a Swift Premium Rack of Pork from Costco to smoke with Hickory<\/a>.\u00a0 My last Rack of Pork was dry cured for days and turned out great but wanted to Low and Slow Smoke\/Cook this Rack at 225\u00baF to taste the results.\u00a0 Trimmed excess fat and gray matter.\u00a0 Rubbed the Rack of Pork with Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO<\/a> for the glue and applied a liberal amount of Jans Dry Rub.\u00a0 Tossed the Rack into the fridge for 2 hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scrubbed some baking Potatoes clean and set them aside to dry to be roasted in the Infrared Char-Broil SRG.\u00a0 Right before cooking the potatoes I rub them with Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO<\/a> and season them with Fagundes Seasoning<\/a>.\u00a0 Experience has shown that these Potatoes take 1\u00bd hours on HIGH with Lid OPEN in the Char-Broil SRG to reach an IT of 210\u00baF.\u00a0 Used to use the fork test but cooking to a known IT works so much better!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Preheated the MAK 2 Star<\/a> Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 225\u00baF using Hickory<\/a> wood BBQ pellets.\u00a0 Estimated 4 hours at 225\u00baF for the Internal Temperature<\/a> (IT) to reach 145\u00baF.<\/p>\n

At 225\u00baF the MAK 2 Star<\/a> rolls out some great smoke.\u00a0 My other option would be to use the SMOKE setting (~180\u00baF) and then bump the temp to finish the Rack of Pork but I found that 225\u00baF gives me the best of both worlds … Ample Hickory<\/a> Smoke and a high enough temp to cook the Rack in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Took just shy of 4 hours to go from an IT of 43\u00baF\u00a0 to 145\u00baF.\u00a0 Used to take Pork to an IT of 160\u00baF but am learning to pull it sooner.\u00a0 The Pork is cooked at 140\u00baF and even the directions on the Swift Premium Rack of Pork called to pull the Rack when the IT hit 145\u00baF.\u00a0 Found the Rack of Pork to be extremely moist and tender.<\/p>\n

The Money $Shot$ …\u00a0 A serving of scrumptious Rack of Pork served with a Baked Potato and a side of steamed Brussels Sprouts and Broccoli … Bon App\u00e9tit<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Hickory<\/a> Smoked Rack of Pork met all my expectations and showed me the benefits of cooking to an IT of 145\u00baF vs the age old standard of 160\u00baF.\u00a0 If you haven’t cooked Pork to the new standards you don’t know what you’re missing !!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
