Bone In Pork Loin

[jcboxlot]

On sale this week at local store.  $1.48 per lb.  Cuts range from 12 to 14 lbs.

I did a quick search and didn't see any posts. 

Just curious if anyone tried, what the cut is, just do something else instead.

Part of a tenderloin? or part of a butt?

12 to 14lbs seems like a lot.  My hunch its Swift Premium Brand on sale.

I went through my 9 lbs of Canadian bacon in no time so it would be worth a batch of that and maybe a small piece as a roast.

This link shows a picture of a bone in loin and how they process it. I only linked it for the image, I would treat the cut of meat differently.

I would brine or cure it whole or nearly whole then treat it with plenty of smoke. I would run it at least four hours in cold smoke then hot smoke it until IT of 150. I would then cut it into chops, those chops can be eaten cold or seared in a hot skillet for breakfast or possibly dinner with a side of beans.

From what I gather, this is essentially the "Bone-in Prime Rib" cut from a pig, right?  It's the loin and back ribs, together.  It's definitely not part of a butt!  This would make a great brined roast for slicing into bone-in loin chops!  You could also smoke it until about 120-130, then slice the chops and finish them on a hot grill!  Smokey and juicy chops, with a nice grilled finish!
