  I’m gonna have to try that sometime. At my house, pork shoulder tends to get used for carnitas or pulled-pork barbecue.

    We usually get a tenderloin at Costco and cut it into chops and roasts. Some of the roasts get made into carnitas and pulled pork as well, but we will just season one up and bbq it for an hour too.

      “Tenderloin” or just regular “loin?”

      Tenderloin is the pig equivalent of filet mignon; IMO it’s too tender to justify the sorts of cooking methods you use to compensate for cheaper, tougher meat.

      Seems reasonable for regular loin, though. I’d still usually pick shoulder for low and slow cooking because it works just as well and tends to be cheaper, but sometimes it isn’t.

        The tenderloin it’s cheap enough and will even go on sale even more at times and we will get a couple.

  The smell from my childhood strongly disagree with you
