Fire up the smoker to 225°-250°, add some cherry for smoke
Smoke pork to an IT of 140°

More to come, pull up a seat and pop a cold beverage.

Made a new sauce recipe for the first time, and it is good.
Excellent on the asparagus and pork, bet it'd rock on chicken too.
I don't know what to call it... Hmmm...

That is about as fine looking a piece of meat I have ever seen. Going to try it with a piece of wild hog backstrap.

That pork looks really good , Will definitely be doing one but it won't be anytime soon , As I have no kitchen at all , it's been ripped out
and being completely redone , maybe 3 more weeks .

Oh man, I feel for y'all.
I lived through our complete kitchen remodel.
But it was so worthwhile, gas range, custom cabinets and countertops, floor space and so much more.
Of course the budget got busted and it took longer than expected.

After living our lives in kitchens that were okay but never what we really wanted , So since this is our last house and we knew looking at it that we would be remodeling a lot of it , We started with the "Heart of the house " . So custom cabinets , quartz countertop , GAS range , On demand hot water heater under the sink , tile floor , My wife is so happy but being without a kitchen and all the mess and dust
is a pain in the @$$ . Next year it's both bathrooms , one at a time can't do without them both out of operation at the same time .
