Meal For Tonight - Smoked Loin with Honey Apple Sauce

[smoking b]

Well since I had a craving for some smoked loin I decided that's what I would have tonight 

  I considered making it the same as this one  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/134530/todays-smoke-pork-loin-with-homemade-wine-peppercorn-sauce

but then decided to do something different...

Ok loin is wrapped & resting & just put the fries on.  Gonna throw together a sauce I hope turns out good (it looks good in my head at least 

)  If it works I will post the recipe if anyone wants it...

The loin turned out great & the sauce complemented it nicely. I am happy with the result

Yummm...  

The loin was incredibly tender & juicy. I pulled it at 145 IT, wrapped it & it rested for an hour & half before I sliced it. The honey apple sauce worked great as well with no overpowering flavors to mask the taste of the loin. I will make this again for sure

I saw a promise of a recipe earlier.  I hope you don't think pictures of ingredients helps amateurs like me

The loin looks great.  I'll be doing one this weekend.    How long did it take to get to 145 with a smoker temp of 225???
