For Sunday’s supper I asked the wife if she wanted chicken or pork, she said pork. I had in mind to do a pork shoulder roast with veggies, potatoes, carrots, and celery. I couldn’t find a shoulder roast small enough so settled for a pork loin sirloin roast, bought some baby gold potatoes and some Brussels sprouts for me. I knew I had carrots and celery.
I got the roast in brine for 2 a half hours; seasoned, tied and in the fridge for one hour. My seasoning was just salt, pepper and garlic flakes. I browned it on my Weber Q100 3 or 4 min. per side then went on a tray over some sliced onions and in my Traeger at 350 deg. grill level.
I had my veggies cleaned and just one carrot but I had some parsnips so used them for me and the wife could have the carrot. I drizzled olive oil over the veggies and placed around the roast and added salt and pepper.
It took about one and a half hours to get to an IT of 158 deg. I stirred the veggies near the end. I tented the roast and veggies while I put 3 pretzel bread sticks on the smoker to heat up.
It tasted pretty good, I had my potatoes, Brussels sprouts, parsnips and celery with mine and the wife had potatoes and carrots with hers. The Brussels sprouts and parsnips could have been a little more done, next time I would nuke the veggies some and then on for 45 minutes to brown up.
The pork sirloin is not my favorite pork cut, next time I will get a shoulder roast and cut it if it’s too large.
The sirloin roast is mostly white meat and some will have a little dark meat attached. I figure if I want white meat I may as well do a loin.
In my Traeger

Did you make the bread?
No FB the bread sticks are from Walmart. I was doing a lot of no knead bread but now I can get some take home and bake bread from Walmart and they just started to do some pretty good crusty bread. It's almost as good as artisan or home made and not that expensive. Getting spoiled in my old age! ;D Don
