Bacon wrapped center cut pork loin

[Chili Head]

Bacon wrapped center cut pork loin.

Here we go!

I cut the loin into 4 1 1/2 inch thick pieces and wrapped them in bacon.

Next I hit em 360 with BP's MONEY rub. New phrase I'm starting 360 ..means on all sides. Kinda catchy!

Ding dong..someone's at the door..my neighbor brings me these..

Alrighty!, Whoooo!
Cut em in half and wrapped some thick cut bacon on them and dusted em with little Louie's seasoned garlic salt with black pepper.

I got the loins on catching some smoke for about 45 minutes.

Next I put the loins in the side drawer and cranked the MAK to high.
I put in the ABTs and the potatoes au gratin.

Getting there..

OK the ABT's are done..beautiful!

The potatoes have about another ten minutes so it's time for the loins.
Onto the hot grill grates..I love these things!

Three minutes turn turn turn turn..a few rounds around the patio table counting down the minutes..taking pictures. I mowed three days ago..then we got 5 1/2 inches of rain. Need to mow again..

Another three flip flip flip flip...

At this point I dusted the loins with happy ending. I'm liking what's going on here!

Everything is done now but the grilled romaine..the loins are resting and the potatoes too.

I hit the romaine with some Annie's herb evoo then grilled it for a minute or so on each side.

Ok let's plate it up!

A center cut pork loin wrapped in thick sliced bacon. Dusted with money and finished with happy ending. Potatoes au gratin, and grilled romaine lettuce drizzled with Annie's herb and balsamic vinegar EVOO, home made bacon bits and sliced cherry tomatoes. And for dessert a couple of ABTs
I washed it down with a tall glass of milk.

How was it?? This picture speaks for itself.

All around a very good and satisfying meal. This was the first time I've done a loin like this with money and happy ending. WOW!
It won't be the last! The potatoes picked up a nice smoke flavor and the romaine was really good. The Annie's herb and balsamic was
perfect for this. The ABT's hit the spot as always!

Thanks for looking!

That cook has made me hungry. Exceedingly so to be very honest. Everything about that cook looked great.

Nicely done Chili Head. Did you custom fit those GrillGrates to your MAK?

The grill grates were part of the 2 star package when I bought it. They are a perfect fit.
