I got a 5 1/2 pound pork loin on sale at Kroger. Gonna smoke it whole in my propane smoker. My plan is to use a dry rub, then smoke it for a few hours, then wrap in alum foil and finish in the oven. Any advice ?
There is some good advice on here so far. The only thing I have to add is I take pork loin to 145. It is completely safe at that temp per USDA standards and will result in a really juicy loin.
Pork loin is a very lean cut and will dry out quickly if overcooked. I would not cook it beyond 150° and it will be very moist.

Can you tell me if you liked it better the day of the smoke or the next day? Assuming you had any leftovers.
Thanks for all the help, I smoked it until I got a internal temp of 145. Wrapped in foil and let rest for about 30 min. would have let it rest longer but everything else was readyCame out great, everyone loved it ! The best pork loin I have ever smoked ! Thanks again ! Sorry I forgot to take pics .....
