It has been awhile since I have been to the forums and smoked something. Last time I smoked anything was last December and was a Goose. So I decided I needed to get back to smoking again and plan on smoking a Pork Loin!
It has been forever since I have smoked one and have forgotten how. I read up and said you smoke it till about 160, about 1.5 hours per pound, which my Pork Loin is a small one at about 3 pounds. I plan on putting McComicks Apple Rub on it and wrapping the 3 pound pork loin in Bacon. So my questions are is about 4.5 hours for the 3 pound pork loin about right for the cooking time? Also should I wrap it up in bacon at the beginning or wait and wrap it up in bacon later? I have also read you should pull it out and let it rest for awhile before serving, so when should I pull it out and how long do I let it rest?
Thank you for any help you can give me!
