in the event that i don't have a cajun microwave, would a grill work?


you can put it on the grill too. however, it will be hard to make that skin "bubble up" like cracklins (if you know what I mean.) anyway, if you grill it then sear it for 45 minutes to an hour (rolling as necessary) and then wrap in five layers of heavy duty foil. turn this meat every 30 min. for 2.5 hours. melt in yo mouth.

Well, this is what they ended up bringing. Apparently the "pork saddle" was the name they used. It was a total of 12 lbs. 1 8lb piece and 1 4lb. Came already marinated and seasoned from Best Stop
I struggled with the heat staying high on the pit in the beginning. But once i got it under control , it smoked for a little over 2 hrs with pecan wood.

we got 4 really nice loins from the 2 pieces and got some nice tenderloin from the bigger piece. The meat was really juicy, had a nice flavor. The bark was REALLY good. We actually used the bones in white beans Sunday.







This was the finished product.
