Strip Loin Roast

I'm guessing the strip weighs 12 lbs +/- ?

Trim the excess fat leaving 1/4"

If you have Montreal Steak seasoning, smoke 1/2 cup at 200 for an hour or two. Apply a liberal coating to top and bottom of the strip. Leave at room temp for 1 hr.

I'd go 275o. You're probably looking at 2-3 hrs.

Made my mouth water!

I was going to suggest treating it like a prime rib, which, I think, MaxQue just did.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking like MaxQue and Pags. Just needed to confirm. Did not want to ruin a super piece of meat.

Smoked Sunday.

Seasoned loin with Lemon Pepper and extra garlic powder. Out of refergerator for 30 minutes. Smoker FEC 100 stabilized for 30 minutes at 276. Put 2 meat probes in loin. set for approximately 130- 135. Smoked approximately 2.5 - 3 hours to reach desired temp. Put into refrigerator until tonight. sliced and packaged. Had some for dinner with roasted potatoes, squash and sauce. super.

Great way to do a loin. Cost was about $5.75 per lb for a choice loin. super good. Wet aged 55 days.
