Lollipop style, bacon wrapped then sauced

^nice look'n pork and shiny new plate setter!
Closest I have is a cast iron kamado-style cooker my dad used a lot when I was a kid. When I rescued it, it looked like this:
When I finished restoring it, it now looks like this:
I stripped it down, painted it, made new grates, and turned new oak handles and a base for it.
The first meal I smoked on it was a pork loin -- just like dad used to make. He really enjoyed seeing the cooker back in service and the meal!
Would love to have a BGE some day, though. Tough to justify the expense...
Had to do it
Well done, that's a cool project.
Having recently purchased the BGE...I couldn't be happier. With the amount of use it gets, and the usable life of ceramic vs metal(even stainless) it will amortize itself early in it's life.
There is a learning curve, as it's certainly a different animal than most grills/smokers/BBQ's, but the quality of the meat that comes off is impressive once you get past it.
The low and slow was really easy to get down. The high heat is what has caused me the most problems. It's quite incredible how juicy most everything comes off the egg.
Anyone get monster chunks like this in their bags of lump? What a pain
