The grill sounds great but all we have done it bake them.  Like all said it doesn't take long and watch that temp.  They are as tender as anything I have ever had.   :happy1:

Cub has these flavored pork loin filets on sale BOGO right now so I picked one up to make for dinner tomorrow night. My late husband used to cook these for us all the time, but I don't recall how he made them! Should I grill it since it will be nice outside tomorrow or are they better to cook in the oven? Any tips will be appreciated! Thanks fellas!  :happy1:
Sorry to hear about your husband. My wife also likes these a lot and I too cook them mainly on the grill for us.  I also like cutting up the left overs thin and making some tasty sandwich out of it.  :happy1:

Here is a shot of them.  They are full of meat too.  They weigh about 1 1/2 lbs ea. 


I've always wanted to try smoking some beef ribs, but everytime I go to look at them, I realize I could buy two full pork racks for around the same price!  :doah:   So I just stick with them!  :tongue: 
Click-the pic.

These ribs are what we got when we bought the quarter of beef.  They turned out real good too.

The sausage and spuds looks epic.  We like pineapple so maybe grilled would be fun to try.

So for indirect grilling, do I just move the meat to the side of the pile of charcoal? I'm new to grilling and so far I guess I've only been doing direct heat - placing the meat over the pile and letting it cook. Thanks for the tips guys!

That'll work. There are no rights and wrongs.

A lot of what I do was learned by trial and error. What I usually do now since I've got a Weber Performer is light the charcoal in the baskets, quick sear whatever needs searing once the coals are gray, remove the grate & pull the baskets apart to the outer edge of the fire pit. Then I can put a drip pan between them then put the meat back on. Have also pulled the baskets apart first once the coals gray off, put the drip pan in, then put the meat on and sear it just before it comes off, what's known as a reverse sear process.

Before I had the Performer, for many moons I'd light the charcoal pile, then separate it into two piles when it grayed off & put the drip pan in following the same process as above. Doing that also allows me to place the smoker boxes over the two piles of coals if I want more smoke flavor. It's a process but it's worth it. Also worth at least couple G&T's!🍸

My rule of thumb is thinner meat, pork chops, steak, brats direct heat, thicker longer cooking meat, pork loin, chicken indirect heat, coals on one side meat on the other. Smoking is a different animal and I never do ribs or pork butt on a grill.  :happy1:

That's a good way to look at it Leech.  I have a 3 lb bag of chicken breasts thawing out now.  Not sure how I will cook them.  I usually bake them with spices and olive oil on them.  I am afraid being boneless the grill may dry them out.

Knowing Mrs. Boober's propensity for hot pursuit following his grilling exploits, I wasn't sure he was talking about the chicken!  :scratch:

Picanha (pronounced pee-kawn-yuh) is a cut of beef from the upper rear of the cow. It's also known as a sirloin cap, and sold in North American grocery stores as a top sirloin cap roast, rump cap, or coulotte steak. Whenever you hear the word “cap” after a cut of beef, that means that the fat layer is still attached.

looks great Cooperman!!!  bet it was good too!!
