First Time Making a Crown Roast - Advice Needed

[Daba's BBQ]

10/21

Good morning.

For tonight's dinner, I will be smoking a crown roast, something that I have never done and have no idea how to approach. Any advice, suggestions, and tips, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I would try treating it like a Prime Rib as far as cooking ( lots of notes on those)

Are you doing lamb or pork?

The main thing is that you do not want to overcook the protein. For pork, the recommended internal temperature is 145F. Lamb can be cooked as if you were cooking beef to your desired doneness.

You can cook low and slow if you want smoky flavor. A cook temp around 225F would work. Many oven recipes call for cooking at 375F, so you can do that as well, but you won't get as much smoke flavor. Obviously, cooking at 225F will take far longer than 375F. Make sure you allow time to rest the protein after your reach the desired internal temp so the juices can redistribute through the meat before slicing.

Thanks, but it didn't make. The smoker died. The hot rod broke a month ago. I replaced it, and it still is not firing up.

Smoking a crown roast can be a flavorful adventure. Pre-season the meat with your favorite rub, maintain a consistent temperature around 225°F, and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for a perfect medium-rare result.

This was a pork crown roast, done in my oven, given that my Traeger died.

I used a marinade consisting of olive oil, rosemary, brown sugar, garlic cloves, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and kosher salt.

Here are the final results

I tried a crown pork roast that was pretty awful on the 4th of July. Bought it from Porter Road too which I believe is extremely overpriced and over rated. FYI , their St Louis ribs are anorexic too
