Hey guys have a 5 pound pork loin as my first smoke. Just got the rub on to rest in the fridge over night. I'm planning on eating around 5pm and from what I can gather it should take 4-5 hours to reach it 150. So I'm planning on starting around 11am to allow some leeway does that seem about right? Also I've just now discovered the 140 in 4 so I'm a lil nervous for my first smoke. I didn't inject or cut into the meat so do I have to worry or will I have trouble reaching this? Also should I wait about an hour before puttin the probe for my thermometer in? Also I bought hickory chunks for the smoke and plan on using the minion method how many should I use for the loin? I plan on doin an up to minute posting tomorrow as I progress so everyone can see how it goes.But thanks in advance. Here's the loin.
