Good evening everyone,

I am smoking a 8lb (14"long) Pork Loin Roast tomorrow.  Might need a little help from my "smoking friends".....  How long should I smoke this pork loin roast?  what temp should I run my smoker??  Should I be juicing and foiling at some point during the cooking process??

 For sure don't cook it past 150. Loin is very lean and will dry out easily. I usually smoke about 225 or so and it seems ( I should keep records) loins take around 3 hours at that temp. No foiling, they don't need to braise. They are tender enough.

thanks Mike,

what about juicing and foiling??
Mike,

my pork loin turned out fantastic!  I smoked it for 4 hours (I timed it) at a constant temp of 225-230. After it reach the IT temp of 145, I took it out of the smoker, sprayed it with apple juice/apple cider mist and foiled it.  I let in rest for 30 minutes because my grandbabies said they didn't want to wait for an hour lol.  So my pork loin rested for 30 minutes only.  I sliced some of it and made Cuban Sandwiches served with a savory Mojo sauce (pronounced MoHo) and it was enjoyed by all - especially my grandbabies

  here's my Q-view.  Thanks for your help - Josie

P.S. have a lot of pork loin leftover - will make something tasty for lunch and dinner tonight :-)





Cuban Sandwiches made with my homemade Cuban bread served with a savory Mojo dipping sauce.............

 
Josie, that looks great. Send or post the Recipe for the Cuban Bread. I like to keep things authentic but there are very few Cubans in central PA so the bread is not available...JJ
