We usually just rub it with olive oil and rosemary, maybe a little salt, some pepper, maybe some garlic powder.
Normally mostly charcoal in the firebox with a few chunks of mesquite or apple wood the last few times as a co worker had cut down his applie tree a couple of years ago and I went and hauled it away. Over a drip pan with water with a few extra spice thrown in for good measure seems to help keep it from drying out. Usually takes about 5 hours I think often about 300 to 350 degrees.
So nothing real special but it tastes pretty good. Very little work required - maybe add some charcoal once or twice. Occasionally start a new chimney if I don't add charcoal or word soon enough. Turn it end to end about half way through. Even with the $1.67 per pound pork loins from the local Kroger.
Take it out and let it sit awhile after the meat thermometer reaches the temperature in our Betty Crocker cookbook.
Maybe have the girls do their thing with apple butter and whatever else they did with a pork roast last week or the week before as it was really good.
Maybe one of these days I'll try marinating it in something. Pork chops we often marinate in pineapple teriaky marinade or even pineapple juice. Maybe try some apple juice.
This looks like a winning combination to me. I'll give it a try, but not tonight. The wind here is gusting 40 to 50 mph this evening. I'll give it a go this weekend. Thanks, Boxx....
