I smoked a eye of round roast last week at 225 until it was 130 then seared in cast iron skillet with avacado oil until 140-145. was one of the best things i ever cooked. trim al the fat cap and silver skin off of it and season heavy with fav beef rub...took about 3 hours
I see lots of questions about the timing of the cook. I did this recipe a couple days ago, and for me, it took 3 hours and 45 minutes at 180F to get the IT up to 140F. The searing part was remarkably quick - less than half an hour at 500F to finish it off. I will definitely do this one again - that rub mixture is fantastic!
Save yourself time. No reason to cook pork loin at that low of a temperature. There is no connective tissue to break down. I do loin frequently at 250 - 275 and it always comes out great. People become attached to the idea of "low in slow" making everything better. Lean pork, like poultry, does not benefit from slower cooks.
@@OneEyedJack01 The reason he sets it at 180F is that it is the best setting on a Pro 575 to get smoke flavor. You can push it maybe to 200F, but above that the smoke flavor on the Traeger 575 gets lost.
Definitely like the idea of a "cheap cut " series. I use old country brazos I cook on it all the time I even smoke my own grains for making homebrew beer. Cheers @fromthegaragehomebrewing
@@Forrest_Gee I do about 1lb at a time laid out flat on a section of stainless steel window screen. I spray them with a little water before I put them on at about 225. I will check and stir them every 15min. Once they are dry and start to darken up I pull them off. It takes about an hour.
Yes, I love the cheap cuts idea. I find myself at the grocery store refusing to buy meat unless it's on "Manager's Special" about to expire. The price is so high for everything except pork loin and chicken. Even chuck roast, albeit much cheaper than other cuts of beef, is getting more expensive.

For sure a fan of the “cheap cuts” idea. I usually only get to cook for my wife and I. So a brisket usually isn’t feasible. And I literally just used your chicken thighs recipe earlier today. I like your bbq philosophy because it’s minimalist with emphasis on just cooking food well instead of adding a ton of sauce to mimic bbq flavor
You can chill, slice and vacuum bag brisket portions to freeze and then either reheat sous vide or bring a pot of water to boil drop in the meat, turn off the heat cover and come back in 10-20 to properly reheated brisket that's nearly indistinguishable from the day it was fresh.
@@ABlindHilbily A FoodSaver is well worth the investment when smoking for 2. I am retired and smoke various foods for my wife and I. We freeze the leftovers for times where we just want to heat it up in water. We keep smoked brisket, pork shoulder, pork loin, chicken, salmon and sausage in the freezer. We can heat up a variety for surprise guests.
The “cheap cuts” series is a great idea, I will definitely be tuning in for that! I use a similar pork loin recipe but change up the rubs to for the kids. The other cheap cut I’ve had amazing results with is Split Breast Chicken. Sooo good!

Pork Loin was one of the first cuts that I learned to cook on the smoker and it is amazing! I didn’t do the sear like you did, but instead kept it at 250° until the pork reached 145° and let it rest. The pork is so tender and juicy and full of flavor! I did one side by side with a brisket and both were gone by the end of the day with everyone loving what was served. Something you should do next: country style pork ribs. Not the chopped up pork butt kind, but the kind that are off of the end of the babybacks. So tasty and incredibly cheap!

Cheap cuts: Pork Fingers, I.E. country style ribs. Everyone does them hot and fast. Had issues with my Old Smokey a few months ago rusting out, just picked up a Weber Kettle Premium with cover recently to have a nice charcoal grill, and had to throw the fingers on the pellet grill with the Baby Backs I was doing. Was so good doing them low and slow I don't know if I'll do them hot/fast anytime soon.
Been smoking country style ribs a lot this past year. Absolutely fantastic and easy. I never was a fan of them before I smoked them. In my opinion they are otherwise too bland of a piece of meat without the combination of smoke and sauce.
prices around me have been crazy for all pork even country style ribs. better off getting a butt and cutting them yourself i guess. i do them low in slow braised in bbq sauce like the original bbq pit boys recipie
Yes! Please do the series. So many youtubers doing expensive cuts that are unattainable for many. But this will really open people's eyes to the many possibilities of meats you can do in your smoker.
I’ve been doing this on a regular basis for almost 20 years, long before anyone ever called center cut loin “cheap pork”. The rib end makes outstanding “sonny’s style” sliced pork BBQ sandwiches. Matter of fact I’m making my thanksgiving “Ham” out of a center cut loin.
Hey Jeremy, that was an awesome cook. I would love to see more cheap cuts to bbq in future videos. That pork loin looked insanely delicious! Nicely done! Oh….I’m a big Made In cookware fan. They just came out with the blue carbon steel roaster I’ve got my eye on! Cheers!
Dude this is spot on. I smoked on my Brazos to 120 internal. Meanwhile I fired up the OC Gravity to 450. I moved the loin to the Gravity at 120 and seared till 145. It’s AMAZING. Thank you so much for all you do.
Good point on the 145F internal. From my understanding, the 160-165F temp has always been touted because that's the time at which 99.999% of Salmoella and E. Coli dies instantly in pork and poultry. Otherwise, it's a time vs. temperature graph which can cause confusion. So for obvious reasons, the FDA will take the safest route. When you're smoking, you can easily hold a 140-145F temp for a solid 10 minutes. Glad the FDA has updated their recommendations so my friends don't freak out if I pull the tenderloin off the grill before 165 ;)
If I'm not cooking for any elderly people, children, or immunocompromised people, I pull it at 135. It is amazing how often I have people tell me that they've never had pork chops/loin/roast so good, and it is all down to the fact that the USDA told their grandmothers to ruin their dinner!
@@lelandunruh7896 Trichinosis was a real concern once upon a time. More recently it's been pretty much completely eradicated. From my understanding if it was still a thing I wouldn't be too interested in medium rare pork either. That said tenderloins at 135° are one of my weekly staple meals and chicken breast pasteurized sous vide at 145° has become the only way I will eat it.
Same here.. I pull these big loins out at about 146-148 max and wrap it to let it rest until serving. People go nuts for it and repeatedly say they've never had lean pork so juicy and delish!
Yes! A cheap cuts series would be amazing! I've been loving the smoker lately, but the cost is astronomical. I'd love to have a wider variety of go to's to choose from. Also, I'm glad you're working on the best way to smoke a brisket in a pellet smoker. I dried my last brisket out using an offset smoker method on my pellet grill. I'd love to see the tips you come up with. P.S. That pork looks amazing!!
My tips for amazing brisket on a pellet smoker that will not be dry, after much experimentation. It will require you to already have some leftover tallow (ideally that you rendered in the smoker so its smokey). Step 1: Get smoker up to 225. Step 2: fill pellet tube and light with blowtorch, get it on fire, then gently put it out so it smoulders and makes smoke. Put it in smoker. Step 3. While smoker is heating, trim brisket, then use tallow as a binder for salt, pepper, granulated garlic (or whatever you want as a rub). The tallow AS A BINDER is an absolute game changer. means you don't have to spritz, and can leave the door closed to get maximum smoke flavour and temp consistency. Step 4: put in smoker, don't open the door again for at least 8-10 hours (or if your water tray empties before that, open the door just enough to fill the water tray). Also put in the smoker a small oven pan with the trimmings to render down smokey tallow. Step 5: Spritz with whatever you want every 45 mins or so - I use ACV and franks. Step 6:once you are past the stall, wrap in butchers paper. feel free to Keep cooking for however many hours it takes to get until you can probe into the brisket effortlessly (yes, poking holes through the paper) until it slides in and out effortlessly, usually around the 203-205 mark. I'm waiting for Jeremy to finally use a pellet tube with his pellet smoker (if he hasn't already, but I don't think he has). That, with a tallow binder right up front, gives genuinely exceptional results. Good luck!!!
Cheap cuts, yes please. And when you run through recipes on a pellet smoker, try them again on the Kamado Joe Big Joe III. I’m sure you’re familiar with Smoking Dad BBQ and his great results and techniques with the kamado-style cooker. I used to have a premium pellet smoker and I’ve beat it now many times with the Big Joe, so I know it’s worthy of your in-depth analysis.
Just followed this procedure today. Turned out amazing! Rubbed down with mustard and seasoned with some rub that came with my smoker (mostly just coarse salt/pepper, granulated garlic) Cooked at 180F until it reached 120F internal (took about 3 hrs for a 10lb pork loin), then cranked it up to 450F. Had a flare up from the high temps/grease, but it wasn't much of an issue. The fatty part on top tastes like bacon! Anyone who has never tried this method for cooking pork loin should give it a shot. Just be careful that the flare up doesn't burn your meat! I would assume that the reason there is no footage of the cook after he cranked the temp up is because of flare ups hahaha. It is inevitable with such a high temp and a bunch of grease.
Hey Jeremy, I'm just wondering approximately how many hours/minutes it took to reach each stage from the previous. I just bought a pork loin today but am not sure if its going to be an all-day cook or an hour and a half cook. Thanks
Absolutely! A series on "cheap" cuts of meat would be great, especially with the rising cost of meat (as well as everything else). That pork loin looked amazing. Thanks for this cook.
I literally did this same cut from Costco this past weekend! They had a deal for $5 off so it was only 12 total. Mine turned out great but still learned from the video. Thanks! What are your thoughts on injecting pork loin?
Cheap cuts is life, especially when growing up with very little. Very interested in seeing these episodes with so called cheap cuts. Keep up the good work.👍🏼
Hey Jeremy, thank you for posting. Any idea on total cook time? Will still use the temperature method, but for planning purposes, how long was the cook?
Just tried this today on a pellet smoker and at 180 it took the costco pork loin 3.5 hours to get to 120. Still a rookie with the smoker so don't hold me to that
I did the exact same pork loin roast from Costco last year. Different spices (Dijon mustard, maple sugar based) on maple wood. Had the same results. Definitely in the top 5 things I've done. Can't wait for Spring to do it again.

Love the idea of a series on cheap cuts. You do a lot of brisket content which is sort of inaccessible to a lot of people, but this series is right up my alley
I like cheap cuts. Your YT channel is good enough that you don't need click-bait phrases such as "... and This Happened". You're above that. Keep posting this kind of content. ;-)
Another "dirt cheap" cut of meat that will now skyrocket in price. Oxtails were dirt cheap when I was a kid and now you have to be Elon Musk to afford them.
I am 72 and just got my first pellet smoker for Christmas. Put it together 2 days ago and will be using this approach to make my first ribs today. Thanks for being so down to earth.
Yes yes yes. Please do this “cheap eats” series. I live in nyc and have been bbqing for about 5/6 years. Full packer briskets are hard to come by and if I get lucky, it went from $80 to over $120 now for a good one. I used to get St. Louis ribs from the supermarket for $9-12 a rack. Now they’re $19-25. Love the idea of using “cheaper cuts” and getting back to the fundamentals of how bbq transformed them. Keep up the great work.
I totally would love a series on barbecuing cheap cuts of meat! Your video series has inspired me to do more offest smoker cooking so anything that can help me do more if it (like how to do it on the cheap) will be great! Love your channel!
So good! Thanks, and yes, please do your “cheap cut” series. Also I’m excited you’re trying to work out the perfect way to cook a brisket on a pellet grill as that’s all I’ve got and keen for your tips and advice on how to cook on these.
I did this for Christmas, absolutely amazing! However, I just did one on an offset. Due to there not being any direct heat, I could afford a higher temp range (225-250). Smoked until internal temp of 140, rested for 15 minutes, then seared in the firebox. For sure, the best thing I’ve ever smoked!!! It is so good!!!
Jeremy, I smoke pork loin a lot. What I found best is that there is substantial silver skin under the fat cap, that will always be tough. I remove the fat cap, trim off the silver skin, and rub. When slow smoking, i lay the fat back on top, but remove when I crust over at the end. Give it a try.
During the holidays, Costco usually has a bone in pork roast (8-10 bones) that isn't too expensive as well that turns out great. I just picked one up for $17-ish. Going to cook it this weekend. I am LOVING the cheap cuts series as well, please keep it up.
Would love to see a cheaper cuts series with more than just beef/pork as well. Those are my favorites but the wife likes fish/veggies, and guests like dips/chili/wings. So maybe explore inexpensive ways to make great bbq, not just the cut of meat? Also like using the pellet grill since a lot of us amateur enthusiasts don't have the skill or time to manage an offset.
I would love to see you do a series on cheap cuts. I enjoying watching all the youtubers cook the wagyu’s and the prime cuts and all the expensive dry aged meats but it’s more enjoyable for some to see the less expensive meats turned into great cooks. Something we all can do. That pork loin turned out awesome.
Doing one tomorrow for Easter along with a small ham. Something I'd really like to see is a complete feast mostly done on the grill / smoker that's day ahead prep, well rounded (couple veg's and starches, appetisers, etc based on the protein) and good for a small crowd without being over the top. Also variations of all the sides based on the different proteins (would make an excellent mini-series ;-)
Definitely want the cheap cuts series. I've bought this exact cut of meat before and didn't know how to get it to come out the best. This helps a bunch. Thx.
Cheap cuts series would be amazing. I try a bunch of your methods, just on my pellet smoker…. And they always come out great! I’d love to see how you do some of those cheaper cuts, I’m trying to figure them out myself!
Made this for a large group a couple of weeks ago and it was a hit! Consistently had people asking where all the liquid in the pan came from because “it couldn’t just be from a pork loin… they’re always so dry.” About 3 hours at 180 to reach 120 internal and then 12 mins per side to sear. More cheap cuts please!
Great idea for cheap cuts! I got my first offset 6 years ago with the idea of turning cheap meat into great BBQ but there is very little cheap cuts left out there anymore. Also recently added a pellet smoker to the family so this video is perfect timing. Thank you!
Would love to see a cheap cuts series and would love to see more pellet smoker cooks. I personally only have a pellet and would love an offset but for the everyday backyard average joe smoker having some cooks done on a pellet would be an awesome addition to the already great content!
I would love to see you do a series on cheap cuts that make delicious BBQ!!! This looked amazing! I enjoy all of your cooks. So very informative and delicious!
Definitely wanna see the cheap cuts series! I was just telling my wife today I'd like to see a poor man's cuts series from one of the pros. Just getting started smoking, and $100 for a Brisket could feed my whole family for a week with affordable cuts. Love the show! Thanks!
Yeah, it's good to have a series like this, as many are just hobbyists, and learning the process, so using regular affordable meats to experiment and get good results with, is good, snd then you can venture to higher cost meats as you build experience and knowledge.
Done this many times. We do the spice like you. Our technique (also on the Traeger) is 180 until internal temp is 130 we glaze it with a maple syrup bbq sauce and turn the heat up. This gives us a nice sweet and spicy flavor. Also keep up the cheap cuts BBQ it's a great idea and I have not seen hardly any other RUclips BBQ people doing that. Beef ribs at Costco have also been pretty budget friendly at $15 per rack.
we do pork tenderloin twice a month at least. I'd like to see what you can do with some simple sides for BBQ. I always struggle coming up with healthy side options that are not mac and cheese.
For any pork related smoke I strongly suggest killer hogs rub!! It's not overly salty and has the perfect all around flavor for a shelf bought seasoning. Pork loin has been a tad bit slept on in the world of BBQ but it's one of the most versatile cuts to use.
Yes to cheap cuts! I have a big family so cheap cuts would be great to feed a larger family on a budget. I bbq all the time. I watch your Chanel a lot to get better at what I do on the grill. Great work!
I’d definitely like to see a budget series of videos! I also think be cool to see animal specific series with all cuts (cheap-$$$ and head to rump)??! Like get entire butchered hog and go thru everything you can make out of it with your favorite recipe.
You gonna keep up the cheap meat series? I’ve watched this video 3-4 times since you made it just in anticipation, makes me hungry every time. Finally found pork loin for sale and going to try this.
I've used this cut of pork a few times, it is the best value for us at the store. Glad to see others using it. One thing that we enjoy is to cut 1" chops and season them with seasoning salt, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and lemon pepper for a Greek flavour. I smoke them for about an hour at 200 then finish them on the propane grill.
This is really the best way to do a pork loin. It is as juicy as it can be and you do get a nice bark on the outside. I love our offset, but the Traeger lets you relax a bit, especially when visiting and smoking with friends and family. We've done this twice, the second time we added a bit of brown sugar to the mix for a hit of sweet. Excellent video as always Jeremy - we've learned a lot from your channel.
I cook pork loin regularly on my pellet grill. I use a rub very similar to yours but I wrap the meat in bacon. The smoke penetrates the bacon, leaving a smoke ring similar to yours. The last part of the cook is at 350-375 which is enough to start rendering the bacon down. Makes for a very juicy pork loin and fantastic sandwich meat.
Yes. PLEASE make a series of cheap cuts made good! That is honestly only want to use cheap meat but still taste amazing, but there's not a lot of videos covering this.
Heck Ya ....... all in on the cheaper cuts series! Thanks for giving temps and rub insights. The only thing I might add would be a rough overall smoke time.
I know this is an old video but it is still my go-to when I'm smoking a pork loin. I just did another one and it turned out perfect! Thanks for teaching me this method.
I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from what you share. I would greatly appreciate a series on how to get fabulous BBQ from cheap cuts of meat.
Love your channel and really enjoy the cheap cuts series. Watch them as soon as they come out. You have one thing on your videos that reminds me of my wife…could you still talk if your hands were tied? 😂
Well, Costco had these $8 off per loin so I grabbed one. Seasoned it up with Lawry’s, black pepper, California chili powder, and bit of garlic jalapeño. On the Yoder Ys640s pellet, 225* then up to 450 to finish. Really came out great and juicy. Thanks for the tips.
Scott, thanks for all your ideas and instruction - my approach to smoking is very simple so I really appreciate the accessibility of your recipes and techniques. I have done pork tenderloin with various approaches to injection to add some flavoring too. Any suggestions for injections for a loin, using the technique in this video? Thanks again, Cheers!
I buy these loins regularly and cut into smaller roasts, chops, and sometimes thin strips for stir frying. . Haven't tried on the smoker because it is so lean, but that seems like a really good method to keep it from drying out. Thanks for sharing.
please do the cheap cut series! we do appreciate the really good cuts, but you know we're all working with a budget so the cheap cut series would be great!
i did this exact recipe with my pitboss and used the exact same cut from costco went smoke mode @ 180 for 2 hours then rolled it up to 225 till 120 and then followed the recipe. with the pitboss I wasnt able to get insane crispy bark, but it was so amazing
Just tried this method tonight with a pre-marinated pork loin fillet from my local grocery store. Turned out great! So juicy with a good amount of smoke flavor. My wife and oldest daughter even loved it, and they aren’t pork fans.
I would definitely be interested in a series featuring cheaper cuts! Go for it!
That is all I buy. I braise mostly as I can not BBQ. Braising cheap cuts is the only way to do it.
I smoked a eye of round roast last week at 225 until it was 130 then seared in cast iron skillet with avacado oil until 140-145. was one of the best things i ever cooked. trim al the fat cap and silver skin off of it and season heavy with fav beef rub...took about 3 hours

prices around me have been crazy for all pork even country style ribs. better off getting a butt and cutting them yourself i guess. i do them low in slow braised in bbq sauce like the original bbq pit boys recipie
Yes! Please do the series. So many youtubers doing expensive cuts that are unattainable for many. But this will really open people's eyes to the many possibilities of meats you can do in your smoker.
Bring on the "Cheap Cuts" series. I've always loved pork loin, so I'll do one on my Pit Barrel in the spring.
Just found your channel the other day and loving your content, thanks MSBBQ!
I’ve been doing this on a regular basis for almost 20 years, long before anyone ever called center cut loin “cheap pork”.
The rib end makes outstanding “sonny’s style” sliced pork BBQ sandwiches.
Matter of fact I’m making my thanksgiving “Ham” out of a center cut loin.
I grew up near the original Sonny's in Gainesville and have always liked the sliced pork over the pulled pork. Thanks for the heads up.

Great video! I love seeing other cuts of meat being cooked like this. How long did the whole cook take you?
Hey Jeremy, that was an awesome cook. I would love to see more cheap cuts to bbq in future videos. That pork loin looked insanely delicious! Nicely done! Oh….I’m a big Made In cookware fan. They just came out with the blue carbon steel roaster I’ve got my eye on! Cheers!
Dude this is spot on. I smoked on my Brazos to 120 internal. Meanwhile I fired up the OC Gravity to 450. I moved the loin to the Gravity at 120 and seared till 145. It’s AMAZING. Thank you so much for all you do.
Good point on the 145F internal. From my understanding, the 160-165F temp has always been touted because that's the time at which 99.999% of Salmoella and E. Coli dies instantly in pork and poultry. Otherwise, it's a time vs. temperature graph which can cause confusion. So for obvious reasons, the FDA will take the safest route. When you're smoking, you can easily hold a 140-145F temp for a solid 10 minutes. Glad the FDA has updated their recommendations so my friends don't freak out if I pull the tenderloin off the grill before 165 ;)
If I'm not cooking for any elderly people, children, or immunocompromised people, I pull it at 135. It is amazing how often I have people tell me that they've never had pork chops/loin/roast so good, and it is all down to the fact that the USDA told their grandmothers to ruin their dinner!
@@lelandunruh7896 Trichinosis was a real concern once upon a time. More recently it's been pretty much completely eradicated. From my understanding if it was still a thing I wouldn't be too interested in medium rare pork either. That said tenderloins at 135° are one of my weekly staple meals and chicken breast pasteurized sous vide at 145° has become the only way I will eat it.
Same here.. I pull these big loins out at about 146-148 max and wrap it to let it rest until serving. People go nuts for it and repeatedly say they've never had lean pork so juicy and delish!
Love the idea of the series of cheap cuts...bring bbq back to its roots! Thanks for the content!
Yes! A cheap cuts series would be amazing! I've been loving the smoker lately, but the cost is astronomical. I'd love to have a wider variety of go to's to choose from. Also, I'm glad you're working on the best way to smoke a brisket in a pellet smoker. I dried my last brisket out using an offset smoker method on my pellet grill. I'd love to see the tips you come up with.
P.S. That pork looks amazing!!
My tips for amazing brisket on a pellet smoker that will not be dry, after much experimentation. It will require you to already have some leftover tallow (ideally that you rendered in the smoker so its smokey).
Step 1: Get smoker up to 225.
Step 2: fill pellet tube and light with blowtorch, get it on fire, then gently put it out so it smoulders and makes smoke. Put it in smoker.
Step 3. While smoker is heating, trim brisket, then use tallow as a binder for salt, pepper, granulated garlic (or whatever you want as a rub). The tallow AS A BINDER is an absolute game changer. means you don't have to spritz, and can leave the door closed to get maximum smoke flavour and temp consistency.
Step 4: put in smoker, don't open the door again for at least 8-10 hours (or if your water tray empties before that, open the door just enough to fill the water tray). Also put in the smoker a small oven pan with the trimmings to render down smokey tallow.
Step 5: Spritz with whatever you want every 45 mins or so - I use ACV and franks.
Step 6:once you are past the stall, wrap in butchers paper. feel free to Keep cooking for however many hours it takes to get until you can probe into the brisket effortlessly (yes, poking holes through the paper) until it slides in and out effortlessly, usually around the 203-205 mark.
I'm waiting for Jeremy to finally use a pellet tube with his pellet smoker (if he hasn't already, but I don't think he has). That, with a tallow binder right up front, gives genuinely exceptional results.
Good luck!!!
@@tristancleary pellet tube works best , (for me anyway), is cold smoking before fire-ing the smoker up........
I would definitely like the idea of a cheap cuts series. The “that’s the whole idea of barbeque” thought is very appealing. Thanks!
Cheap cuts, yes please. And when you run through recipes on a pellet smoker, try them again on the Kamado Joe Big Joe III. I’m sure you’re familiar with Smoking Dad BBQ and his great results and techniques with the kamado-style cooker. I used to have a premium pellet smoker and I’ve beat it now many times with the Big Joe, so I know it’s worthy of your in-depth analysis.
Just followed this procedure today. Turned out amazing! Rubbed down with mustard and seasoned with some rub that came with my smoker (mostly just coarse salt/pepper, granulated garlic) Cooked at 180F until it reached 120F internal (took about 3 hrs for a 10lb pork loin), then cranked it up to 450F. Had a flare up from the high temps/grease, but it wasn't much of an issue. The fatty part on top tastes like bacon! Anyone who has never tried this method for cooking pork loin should give it a shot. Just be careful that the flare up doesn't burn your meat! I would assume that the reason there is no footage of the cook after he cranked the temp up is because of flare ups hahaha. It is inevitable with such a high temp and a bunch of grease.
Hey Jeremy, I'm just wondering approximately how many hours/minutes it took to reach each stage from the previous. I just bought a pork loin today but am not sure if its going to be an all-day cook or an hour and a half cook. Thanks
Not the scientist but in my experience It should just be a few hours. 2-3 usually.
Absolutely! A series on "cheap" cuts of meat would be great, especially with the rising cost of meat (as well as everything else). That pork loin looked amazing. Thanks for this cook.
I literally did this same cut from Costco this past weekend! They had a deal for $5 off so it was only 12 total. Mine turned out great but still learned from the video. Thanks! What are your thoughts on injecting pork loin?
I was thinking it needed to be injected. The one I cooked didn't have much flavor pass the crust..
Cheap cuts is life, especially when growing up with very little. Very interested in seeing these episodes with so called cheap cuts. Keep up the good work.👍🏼
Hey Jeremy, thank you for posting. Any idea on total cook time? Will still use the temperature method, but for planning purposes, how long was the cook?
I would like to have an estimate as well. That looked fantastic!
I'd like the time info also!
Just tried this today on a pellet smoker and at 180 it took the costco pork loin 3.5 hours to get to 120. Still a rookie with the smoker so don't hold me to that
I did the exact same pork loin roast from Costco last year. Different spices (Dijon mustard, maple sugar based) on maple wood. Had the same results. Definitely in the top 5 things I've done. Can't wait for Spring to do it again.
I have a feeling production supply constraints and fuel prices are responsible for the price increases.
I have a feeling it’s the government
I have a feeling you are both right!
Nope. It’s the expansion of the money supply. The federal reserve has been expanding the money supply since 2009.
@@brianshenk6912 2009 is generous. The federal reserve has been screwing with US money since 1913 and it really took off in 1971 when the gold standard was completely abandoned. Fiat currency and government overreach are not a good combination.
@@dedlift7 you are speaking my language!
Love the idea of a series on cheap cuts. You do a lot of brisket content which is sort of inaccessible to a lot of people, but this series is right up my alley
I like cheap cuts. Your YT channel is good enough that you don't need click-bait phrases such as "... and This Happened".
You're above that.
Keep posting this kind of content. ;-)
Yes Please !!! I would love to watch that series. Thank you for all of the great videos.
Another "dirt cheap" cut of meat that will now skyrocket in price. Oxtails were dirt cheap when I was a kid and now you have to be Elon Musk to afford them.
I am 72 and just got my first pellet smoker for Christmas. Put it together 2 days ago and will be using this approach to make my first ribs today. Thanks for being so down to earth.
Yes yes yes. Please do this “cheap eats” series. I live in nyc and have been bbqing for about 5/6 years. Full packer briskets are hard to come by and if I get lucky, it went from $80 to over $120 now for a good one. I used to get St. Louis ribs from the supermarket for $9-12 a rack. Now they’re $19-25. Love the idea of using “cheaper cuts” and getting back to the fundamentals of how bbq transformed them. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video! Would absolutely be interested in a series on cheaper cuts.
I totally would love a series on barbecuing cheap cuts of meat! Your video series has inspired me to do more offest smoker cooking so anything that can help me do more if it (like how to do it on the cheap) will be great! Love your channel!
So good! Thanks, and yes, please do your “cheap cut” series. Also I’m excited you’re trying to work out the perfect way to cook a brisket on a pellet grill as that’s all I’ve got and keen for your tips and advice on how to cook on these.
I did this for Christmas, absolutely amazing! However, I just did one on an offset. Due to there not being any direct heat, I could afford a higher temp range (225-250). Smoked until internal temp of 140, rested for 15 minutes, then seared in the firebox. For sure, the best thing I’ve ever smoked!!! It is so good!!!
Jeremy, I smoke pork loin a lot. What I found best is that there is substantial silver skin under the fat cap, that will always be tough. I remove the fat cap, trim off the silver skin, and rub. When slow smoking, i lay the fat back on top, but remove when I crust over at the end. Give it a try.
During the holidays, Costco usually has a bone in pork roast (8-10 bones) that isn't too expensive as well that turns out great. I just picked one up for $17-ish. Going to cook it this weekend. I am LOVING the cheap cuts series as well, please keep it up.
Would love a series on cheaper cut BBQ/Smoking. Love your videos, THANK YOU!
Would love to see a cheaper cuts series with more than just beef/pork as well. Those are my favorites but the wife likes fish/veggies, and guests like dips/chili/wings.
So maybe explore inexpensive ways to make great bbq, not just the cut of meat? Also like using the pellet grill since a lot of us amateur enthusiasts don't have the skill or time to manage an offset.
I would love to see you do a series on cheap cuts. I enjoying watching all the youtubers cook the wagyu’s and the prime cuts and all the expensive dry aged meats but it’s more enjoyable for some to see the less expensive meats turned into great cooks. Something we all can do. That pork loin turned out awesome.
Doing one tomorrow for Easter along with a small ham. Something I'd really like to see is a complete feast mostly done on the grill / smoker that's day ahead prep, well rounded (couple veg's and starches, appetisers, etc based on the protein) and good for a small crowd without being over the top. Also variations of all the sides based on the different proteins (would make an excellent mini-series ;-)
Definitely want the cheap cuts series. I've bought this exact cut of meat before and didn't know how to get it to come out the best. This helps a bunch. Thx.
I would love the 'cheap cut' series. And remember, BBQ essentially started as a way to make the 'cheap cuts' good and delicious !
@madscientistbbq what was the approximate time the smoke time took for you?
Cheap cuts series would be amazing. I try a bunch of your methods, just on my pellet smoker…. And they always come out great! I’d love to see how you do some of those cheaper cuts, I’m trying to figure them out myself!
Yes, would like your series on BBQ cheap cuts!!
yes! a cheap cuts would be a really fun series! ive enjoyed the two you have done already!
Great video (as usual)! Have you decided to do the series on the best cheap cuts of meat to BBQ and smoke?
Cheap cut series would be fantastic.
Buddy this cook looked amazing, thank you.
Just helped me decide what to make for a pre-Christmas dinner with friends. Thanks
Made this for a large group a couple of weeks ago and it was a hit! Consistently had people asking where all the liquid in the pan came from because “it couldn’t just be from a pork loin… they’re always so dry.” About 3 hours at 180 to reach 120 internal and then 12 mins per side to sear.
More cheap cuts please!
Great idea for cheap cuts! I got my first offset 6 years ago with the idea of turning cheap meat into great BBQ but there is very little cheap cuts left out there anymore. Also recently added a pellet smoker to the family so this video is perfect timing. Thank you!
Would love to see a cheap cuts series and would love to see more pellet smoker cooks. I personally only have a pellet and would love an offset but for the everyday backyard average joe smoker having some cooks done on a pellet would be an awesome addition to the already great content!
Please do a series on cheaper cuts! Your vids are great, thanks for sharing your love of BBQ and knowledge with us!
I would love to see you do a series on cheap cuts that make delicious BBQ!!! This looked amazing! I enjoy all of your cooks. So very informative and delicious!
Definitely wanna see the cheap cuts series! I was just telling my wife today I'd like to see a poor man's cuts series from one of the pros. Just getting started smoking, and $100 for a Brisket could feed my whole family for a week with affordable cuts. Love the show! Thanks!
I like the idea of the cheap cuts series. I'm a single dad with a passion for BBQ, so that pretty much sums up the way I cook 😂
Yeah, it's good to have a series like this, as many are just hobbyists, and learning the process, so using regular affordable meats to experiment and get good results with, is good, snd then you can venture to higher cost meats as you build experience and knowledge.
Thank you for the video! I would love to see more series on cheap cuts of meat.
Done this many times. We do the spice like you. Our technique (also on the Traeger) is 180 until internal temp is 130 we glaze it with a maple syrup bbq sauce and turn the heat up. This gives us a nice sweet and spicy flavor. Also keep up the cheap cuts BBQ it's a great idea and I have not seen hardly any other RUclips BBQ people doing that. Beef ribs at Costco have also been pretty budget friendly at $15 per rack.
Yes please do the series on cheap cuts! I love your videos! Keep it up!
New tag line "budgetBBQ" will be a great series. Thanks for info in this video.
we do pork tenderloin twice a month at least.
I'd like to see what you can do with some simple sides for BBQ. I always struggle coming up with healthy side options that are not mac and cheese.
Another fabulous job ! I think Cheap cuts would be a fabulous and appropriate series.
For any pork related smoke I strongly suggest killer hogs rub!! It's not overly salty and has the perfect all around flavor for a shelf bought seasoning. Pork loin has been a tad bit slept on in the world of BBQ but it's one of the most versatile cuts to use.
Yes to cheap cuts! I have a big family so cheap cuts would be great to feed a larger family on a budget. I bbq all the time. I watch your Chanel a lot to get better at what I do on the grill. Great work!
I’d definitely like to see a budget series of videos! I also think be cool to see animal specific series with all cuts (cheap-$$$ and head to rump)??! Like get entire butchered hog and go thru everything you can make out of it with your favorite recipe.
Cheap cuts made awesome sounds like a wonderful series. YES, please.
Yes please, would love a cheap cuts series
Yeah man loving this. Keep this series going
You gonna keep up the cheap meat series? I’ve watched this video 3-4 times since you made it just in anticipation, makes me hungry every time. Finally found pork loin for sale and going to try this.
I've used this cut of pork a few times, it is the best value for us at the store. Glad to see others using it. One thing that we enjoy is to cut 1" chops and season them with seasoning salt, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and lemon pepper for a Greek flavour. I smoke them for about an hour at 200 then finish them on the propane grill.
This is really the best way to do a pork loin. It is as juicy as it can be and you do get a nice bark on the outside. I love our offset, but the Traeger lets you relax a bit, especially when visiting and smoking with friends and family. We've done this twice, the second time we added a bit of brown sugar to the mix for a hit of sweet. Excellent video as always Jeremy - we've learned a lot from your channel.
I cook pork loin regularly on my pellet grill. I use a rub very similar to yours but I wrap the meat in bacon. The smoke penetrates the bacon, leaving a smoke ring similar to yours. The last part of the cook is at 350-375 which is enough to start rendering the bacon down. Makes for a very juicy pork loin and fantastic sandwich meat.
Yes. PLEASE make a series of cheap cuts made good!
That is honestly only want to use cheap meat but still taste amazing, but there's not a lot of videos covering this.
Love this video series! Especially with the prices meats are currently at, this is a huge help. Thank you!
Heck Ya ....... all in on the cheaper cuts series! Thanks for giving temps and rub insights. The only thing I might add would be a rough overall smoke time.
I know this is an old video but it is still my go-to when I'm smoking a pork loin. I just did another one and it turned out perfect! Thanks for teaching me this method.
Yes plz do the cheap cuts series. Gonna try the pork loin next time I do a Costco run!
I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from what you share. I would greatly appreciate a series on how to get fabulous BBQ from cheap cuts of meat.
Love your channel and really enjoy the cheap cuts series. Watch them as soon as they come out. You have one thing on your videos that reminds me of my wife…could you still talk if your hands were tied? 😂
Well, Costco had these $8 off per loin so I grabbed one. Seasoned it up with Lawry’s, black pepper, California chili powder, and bit of garlic jalapeño. On the Yoder Ys640s pellet, 225* then up to 450 to finish. Really came out great and juicy. Thanks for the tips.
Great concept. “Cheap cut” series will
Be good for all. Sometimes, like you said, you don’t have it often. Cheap or not, nice to mix it up!
Scott, thanks for all your ideas and instruction - my approach to smoking is very simple so I really appreciate the accessibility of your recipes and techniques. I have done pork tenderloin with various approaches to injection to add some flavoring too. Any suggestions for injections for a loin, using the technique in this video?
Thanks again, Cheers!
Great video, thanks Jeremy!! The cheap cuts series would be Brilliant 👍
Please, do the series! That would be so awesome!
Love all the videos. Cheap cuts is a great idea.
Thanks for doing the leg work!
I buy these loins regularly and cut into smaller roasts, chops, and sometimes thin strips for stir frying. . Haven't tried on the smoker because it is so lean, but that seems like a really good method to keep it from drying out. Thanks for sharing.
please do the cheap cut series! we do appreciate the really good cuts, but you know we're all working with a budget so the cheap cut series would be great!
i did this exact recipe with my pitboss and used the exact same cut from costco went smoke mode @ 180 for 2 hours then rolled it up to 225 till 120 and then followed the recipe. with the pitboss I wasnt able to get insane crispy bark, but it was so amazing
Love the series idea! Also looking out for that weekend workshop you mentioned several months ago!
Just tried this method tonight with a pre-marinated pork loin fillet from my local grocery store. Turned out great! So juicy with a good amount of smoke flavor. My wife and oldest daughter even loved it, and they aren’t pork fans.
