A new take on both the classic smoked pork loin and the iconic Cuban Sandwich, the Almirola Family Cuban Stuffed Pork Loin, named after a recipe from Pit Boss Ambassador Aric Almirola's heritage, will leave you wondering why you ever did it any other way. We commissioned Pit Boss Ambassador Paul Wickey (@wicked.bbq on Instagram) to execute this masterpiece, and he did so to perfection. First, assemble all of your classic Cubano fixins, then stuff them into a butterflied pork loin before smoking it low and slow on your Pit Boss Lockhart Platinum Series Combo Grill. Serve it up with some roasted garlic cauliflower for the perfect race day meal or just an excuse to try this merger of two timeless comfort foods.

  1. Fire up your Pit Boss Lockhart Platinum Series Pellet/Smoker Combo Grill and with the lid open, set your temperature to SMOKE mode.
