Pulled that other half of pork loin out of the freezer and let it defrost.
Scratched my head thinking of what to do with it... Stuff that sucker!
But with what, sweet or savory, "Hey Mom, I'm cooking tonight, sweet or savory?" "Savory!" she replied.
Check the fridge for likely ingredients and hit on a winning combo.

Thanks man.
Man...
That looks good. I may have to try your recipe next time I stuff and smoke a loin. Now that I've done one, I will not hesitate to do another.
Keep these coming. They are inspiring.
John
That looks good John, but then again, all of your other creations do as well :).
I do pork roasts, but mine are not as exciting as yours. Mine are simple, a little white wine, rosemary, garlic, salt and black pepper.
I will definitely be trying this one!
Thanks!
Sal
Another great looking dish. You sure get your money's worth from your smoker. I need to use mine more often on meats. I usually just smoke fish and the occasional rack of ribs.
Keep 'em coming.
Scott
Chile, restaurant quality and then some! Matter of fact we're having pig tonight. Stop & Shop had picnic roast for .87/lb.
Now I'm psyched. Great work as usual and presentation is top shelf!

Thanks Sal, appreciate the compliment.
My last one wasn't much different from yours, except no wine, more herbs and smoked.

Thanks Lou, you're too kind with the evaluation of my cooking/pictures.
I'm sure that Picnic Roast will come out excellent if you simply give it the time to cook thoroughly, let all those fats/collagens break down into moist flavorful goodness.
Chile,
Wow that looks awesome! Something about slow cooked ,smoked meat, that just makes your mouth water😁
You keep inspiring me! Time to drag out the smoker again, and give it a go! Looks delicious!
Brett
Okay Chile,
It's Friday..before Memorial Day weekend....when does the tease start about your next smoking adventure?
I'm just trying to prepare myself for the assault on my taste buds....still haven't figured out how to install a "smell-o-vision" app on my computer.....probably a good thing ;D

Awwww man,
I'm gonna have to take a break from the smoker as I'm in PA on vacation. So not this weekend or next.... Man I'm gonna be having withdrawals. LOL!
But I am cooking while I'm up here, a repeat tomorrow of this Stuffed Pork Loin for family and neighbors.
Then grilling burgers/dogs Memorial Day for more family.
In between I'm chasing trout in the river in front of this cabin.... Report incoming soon.
Welp...i know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow!
Yum.
