Looking for pork loin ideas
Grocery store had them on sale and picked up a 4#
I did one several months back and it turned out really good but I can't remember what seasoning I used
Any ideas appreciated
 
I like cutting a pork loin into 1.5-inch thick loin chops.  Season with your fave seasoning in advance.  Smoke at 225F...and in about an hour your smoked loin chops are done and so good!  

I sometimes wrap them with bacon around the edges (like a filet mignon).  I do these at 275F to get the bacon right...shorter smoke time, of course.
 
Uncle Eddie's chop idea is good, and there are tons of different stuffed options out there--I did one a couple of weeks ago stuffed with crawfish and crab meat and have stuffed before with apple and gouda sausage.  Plain ain't bad either:  good luck!
 
I've probably smoked more pork loins than any other piece of pork.

I've stuffed them with many different things, but my favorite way is just plain with a good rub.

I also smoke them in a pan with some broth.

The biggest thing with a loin is not to over cook it.

I pull mine at 138-140 & with a short rest they cruise right up to 145.

Here is one I did not too long ago, maybe you can get some ideas from it.

This is the rub I used.

Al’s Best Rub

1 1/2 cups raw sugar (turbinado)

1/4 cup red pepper flakes

1/2 cup granulated onion

1/2 cup granulated garlic

1/2 cup black pepper

1/2 cup smoked paprika

1/4 cup Spanish or Hungarian paprika

Hope this helps!

Al
