First Pork Loin on the Treager

[calgarycraig]

Took a very simple recipe / method but added a twist!
Injected the loin with an apple juice and maple syrup mixture. Then put on a sweet and spicy mustard, Stubbs pork rub (that's all I had), brown sugar and salt. Wrapped and refrigerated. Took out after a couple hours and let sit for a bit longer.

Put on the Traeger for an hour smoke, then cranked up the heat to 225.

Total cook time about 3.5 hours.


Overall super juicy and moist. Great flavor.

That loin looks great.  What IT did you take it to?  I generally pull mine between 138 and 140*

Hi Gary. My plan was to take it off the grill at 148 degrees ( used a thermapen), but ended up talking to my neighbor and ended up pulling it at 152 degrees. Probably ended up on the medium side, but was still pretty juicy.

Ooopps just noticed I spelled Traeger wrong in my initial post!

Thanks guys. They were even tasty today for lunch. Funny thing about my neighbor - he was bbq'ing quarter chickens (gas) and started a friggen grease fire in his bbq. It was incredible. You should have seen the black smoke! I had no choice but to be distracted [emoji]128512[/emoji] That is what screwed up my temp!


Have a great week gentlemen!

My co-worker did the same thing last weekend.  He's asking me for ideas for dual smoker/grill charcoal and gas.  I suggested getting a good grill and a good smoker.  Not something that might be able to do both.
