Not a glorious cut of meat, but I am feeding a family on a forklift drivers budget. These Smithfield loins bang pretty hard for a 7.00 bill. Usually about a 60 min smoke. Add a side like some mashed taters and you can feed a family of 4 for about 14.00
We like the apple wood bacon ones.

Poor Man’s Brisket (chuck roast) is my new favorite thing. Half the cost, half the cook time, 1/3 the prep time (no trimming) and y’all it is sooo good. Highly recommend.

Smoked a chuck roast today to practice for my first brisket. I think we are ready!
ETA: Seasoned with Meat Church Holy Voodoo and some coarse ground pepper. Smoked it at 225 until IT 165 then wrapped with a few tablespoons of butter. Turned the heat up to 275 and until IT 205. Rested for an hour (longer preferred but couldn’t wait) before slicing into it. Amazingly tender and delicious!

I just wanted everyone to know that my son is roughly the size of an untrimmed brisket.
