I used a German Spice Rub mixed with Crushed Juniper Berries and left it in the Refrig for 26+ hours (That was not the intention!)

I preheated the Smoker and attempted to gain control of the Heat temp which I don't think I managed, but was not far off of the 235 mark based on about 6 different Temp Thermometers. I smoked using Apple chips and figured roughly 3hrs should get the internal temp at 140, then I would pull it and let it rest.

Well I checked about 20 min early and I'm glad I did as the IT was @ 160!!

I quickly shut things down and pulled the Loin, placed it in the kitchen and decided NOT to wrap it in foil as I wanted to try and keep it from cooking further.  The end result was a well smoked Pork Loin, that was very juicy and tender.  A little more done than I would have preferred but was not bad and with a little tweaking, I'll get it right on the next one!

Here is some pics!



 
Still looks good man as do the sausages!

  How did the German spice rub do for you?

Loins cook pretty fast - I use a thermometer that I let in the meat while it's smoking so I can track my temps.

Thanks!

I used the meat probe that comes built in the MES-40".

I got side tracked working on my BigRig and kinda left it alone.

My bad, that I didn't check earlier.

The German Rub is for Chop & Schnitzel that my wife bought at our local Commissary here @ Fort Bragg, NC.

It did real well, but the Juniper Berries really came through! I was pleased with that.

Thanks again.

Glad to hear they worked well

 I need to get some more juniper berries - I've been out for a couple months now...

One last thing. Did you verify the accuracy of the MES probe with another therm? Some of them are spot on but others are off...
