After wanting to smoke a pork loin and reading all the delicious recipes i decided to do it up this past weekend. Bought a 7 lb loin and cut it up to give myself probably a 4-5lb loin to smoke
I filleted the loin to lay flat for stuffing. Being the first time i wish i would have gotten it a little thinner.
Was going to try and roast my own apples but went with apple pie stuffing due to time.
Watched many videos to try and figure out how to tie the roast up. It was a little tricky trying to roll it up while trying to stuff the apples back inside but after getting the first end snugged up it went very well.
Found a sweet rub in a book called Smoke and Spice(which has a ton of great recipes) called Sweet Sensation. Some cinnamon, nutmeg,and other spices. My girlfriend said it smelled like Christmas ha-ha. Placed it in the fridge for the night.
Placed it in the smoker at 235 and figured i would try some apple juice instead of water to see if it really made any difference. Not sure if it was the apples inside the loin,the apple juice,or the apple wood chips i used but it definitely had an apple taste to it.
Pulled the loin from the smoker at 145 degrees (about 3 1/2 hours) and wrapped it in tinfoil for about 45 minutes.
Turned out great! Very moist and the bark had a phenomenal taste! Served with my moms "funeral potatoes" and as you can see some miller to wash it all down!
