Having never made a crown roast of pork before, I was a little
worried about screwing up a $60 piece of meat. Turned out to be one of the
best things I've ever made. The recipe was based on something from
Emeril's web site.

Rub the roast down with some olive oil, then give it a nice coating of fresh
herbs, garlic, and seasonings. Cover the bone tips with foil to prevent
them from getting too brown.

Toss it in a roasting pan into the K with some apple wood and let it smoke for
about an hour or so. I wanted just a hint of smoke so I moved it to the
oven after the first hour. That also allowed me to keep an eye on it while
making the side dishes. Basted with white wine several times through the
cooking process.

When the internal temp hit 150, I pulled it out. Left it sit for a few
minutes and replaced the foil with those cute little paper thingys to make it
all pretty.

Sliced and served with steamed veggies in a white wine and butter sauce and home
made pork stuffing. The inside of the roast stayed a nice light pink.
