This is the second loin I've done since I started smoking, turned out better in my opinion than the maple one I tried.

Brine:

             - 2 quarts water

             - 2 quarts apple juice/cider

             - 1 cup kosher salt

             - 1/2 cup brown sugar

             - 1 cinnamon stick

             - 5 whole cloves

             - 1Tbsp peppercorns

             - Zest of 1 orange

             - 1tsp crushed chipotle pepper

I had mine in the brine for 9 hours in total on a 2.7lb loin.

Brine


Dry rubbed


Smoked @225F w/ apple wood


Pulled at IT of 142, glazed with equal parts apple butter and Dijon mustard.

 Perfect tinge of pink, personal preference.


I think this will be my go to recipe for loins now.

Also if you can tell in the last pic my remote thermometer broke

Looks great. I use a mav too.

I just bought a weber instant read for 10 bucks. I love it.
