Sunday Pork Loin

[berninga87]

It's been a little while since I was last on SMF, but I smoked a pork loin tonight that was just awesome and wanted to share with everyone here. Started out with about a 3lb section of pork loin. Score the fat cap across the top. Rub with a little mustard, coat with bbq rub, and stuff extra rub in creases in fat cap. Cook over indirect heat on weber kettle grill with charcoal, add dry wood chips to hot coals for smoke (I used mesquite and peach chips). Don't worry about exact grill temp as long as it's hot(too hot to touch closed lid on opposite side of coals for more than 1 sec). Temp probe in loin, smoke roughly 2 hours to IT 140F. Rest 10-15 mins(temp rises to 145-150), slice, and enjoy! For added flavor, roast a couple of jalapenos directly over coals while loin cooks. Cut peppers open, de-vein/seed, dice, and sprinkle over loin.

Looks mighty Tasty....Got a loin to do at New Years, Thanks

Thanks guys! We really enjoyed the chops, no extra sauce or seasoning needed. A couple days later I took the leftovers and cubed them up. Saute in butter and a little more of the rub in cast iron. Add lettuce, tomato, sour cream, hot sauce, and some lightly pan fried corn tortillas. Final product is tacos you'll be craving until the next pork loin. Actually the next time we do tacos I might just skip the ground meat altogether and do another loin. Good stuff!

One of my families favorites, I smoke pork loins all the time. Try some thin sliced with bitter greens and thin sliced onion on a toasted Kaiser roll
