Frenched Rack of Pork

Smoke on Wheels BBQ Marinade

Cattleman’s Grill California Tri-tip

Place the frenched rack of pork loin in a large (2.5 gal) zip top bag. Cover meat with Smoke on Wheels 

Marinade. Squeeze the air out of the bag, seal it, and allow the pork to marinate for six hours. Remove 

the pork from the marinade. Preheat your cooker to 325ºF. Wipe the excess marinade o

  the pork, but 

do not rinse. Use the residual marinade to bind the rubs to the pork. Cover the meat with equal parts

internal temperature reaches 140ºF-145ºF. Remove. Cover loosely. Let rest 15 minutes. Slice in-between 

the bones for single chop servings.
