so either cut it in chops or treat it like a loin is what i am gathering from you guys. i am not familiar with this in pork so i was unsure of the connective tissue it might have.
In a nutshell, yes. It doesn't really have any connective tissue and is very lean, so if you cook it too long or at too high of a temperature it will begin to get dry and tough. I take mine to 145F whether it's a roast or chops.
Wet brine and smoke low and slow until IT is 130, then sear over direct heat to 140 IT. I like it with MMD and KC Classic sauce, or S&G rub with SC mustard sauce. Key is to not over cook, anything much past 150 will start getting dry, my personal taste is to pull off the sear at 135 and let carry over take it to 140.
