Anyone else eat pork as their main source of protein

[MR. BMJ]

I don't use it as my main source of protein, though tenderloin is good stuff andmuch cheaper than beef and chicken.

Man....that said.....How about we all get together and have Chef make us all some pulled pork and ribs and have us a nice fat PM BBQ or dinner

lol, God I love ribs and BBQ pulled pork

If any of you shop at costco or know someone who does you can get pork tenderloin for 1.99/lb. You can't beat that price anywhere.

This. Hard to best that price and its very lean. Delicious grilled or in the slow cooker

I have no issues eating lean cuts of pork at all...tenderloins are great...I'll buy a couple of loins and cut them into 1" thick steaks and grill them. You don't want to over cook them, based on "fears" of bacteria etc. You do want to cook them thoroughly, but overcooking is only going to dry them out and then taste like crap.

I will smoke a nice shoulder with apple wood, and use a personal recipe for a dry rub. The only downside if you do it right, at around 250 degrees, based on the outside temp, you'll be babysitting for 9-12 hours, longer if it cold or the side of the shoulder is really large.
