Hi guys and gals,
I'm planning to do a 1/2 loin (~3 lbs) this weekend and need an time estimation, plus any advice to make this adventure more successful. This is first time I've done a pork loin.
My plan is to brine it 12 hours prior and rest at room temperature ~30 minutes before putting on the smoker.
Smoke it at 225 with apple wood.
I would like to remove it and foil at 145 to have a light pink center.
My guess this will take 4 hours to smoke and then an hour to rest in foil.
Is my time estimation correct?
Does brining make the cook time longer?
Would it hurt to leave in foil longer?
