Hello,
brand new to smoking. Just did my first butt, and it turned out great!! Anyone have any hints/suggestions/tips for a pork loin. Planning on doing one Sunday. Thanks

W E L C O M E to the Forum smokeshowing!

While loin comes from the same animal as the butt you just enjoyed, it is cooked much differently.

Since it is a lean and tender cut, you don't need the low and slow.

I would put a rub on it, smoke @250F until an IT of 142F. Two or three hours of smoke.

Welcome to the fun smokeshowing.

Along with what FLB has stated, keep an eye on that loin they cook pretty quick, 3 to 4 hr.

What would you guys do without me??? Wrap that Loin with some BACON!!! or at least drape some over the top. Then follow FLB's sound advice.

Welcome to the Forum Smokeshowing. Smoked loin is good eats and the rest of the guys have ya covered in good ideas. Also, don't forget about brining and injecting. Can add a lot of flavor and help keep it from drying out - very lean.

Really appreciate all the advise- but BACON is brilliant!! Should have mentioned that I plan to use applewood. Any suggestions on what to inject?

I did Mine like this. Rub the loin with your favorite rub of choice, Layer on Bacon, dust everything with rub again before smoking. Smoke at 225* until 150* IT Pull and rest. IT will rise to 152* while resting.

I know I will be trying to figure out how to bacon weave my next Stuffed Pork Loin.

It should be interesting figuring out how to tie it and bacon wrap it at the same time.

Bacon wrapped stuffed pork loin is great.

Deer loin too.
