That's what I'm talkin about Ray. The reverse sear works for pork too. So does medium. Take it off the smoke at 135, sear it till you get to 145 or so. Loin is great at a med, med/well.

Only had bison once a fancy place where the souvei'd it then seared it. I know it's lean as heck though so a straight smoke probably isn't the best way to cook them. Maybe enough smoke to get some color then in a braise for a few hours.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was thinking too. Except also toss them on the grill at the end to give some nice seared spots.

Their directions are simply to roast in the oven for an hour at 400.

Ordered the bison racks since they are on sale. I also got 3 lbs of the deep ocean Spanish octopus legs since they were also on sale.

@bradgator2 ship a couple racks to my house, I'll try a couple different ways cookin them and advise from there, pal! I also wouldn't count for sure on a sear after the braise, the lack of connective tissue in there may make them fall apart once they get tender, you might end up with a bunch of chunks falling off the bone. Just strain the juice, reduce it and pour it over what's left in the pot.

Hmm. Ok. I braised pork ribs once like that. Reduced the sauce, poured it back on the top of them and broiled them for just a few minutes.

Never had cooked octopus - only raw (tako). Sounds interesting.
