Hey all, my Name is Justin im from Amherst, Ohio. I am new to smoking and bought a Smoke Hollow electric smoker today to get my feet wet. Gonna try and do some chicken wings tomorrow before I step up to the big leagues and do this pork loin on Sunday. Wish me luck and any advice will be awesome!

Welcome to SMF!

Chicken wings are a great first thing to smoke.

But unless you can run your smoker at 325 the skin will be rubbery.

You can smoke them for about 1 1/2 hours at 225, then finish them on a hot grill to crisp up the skin.

With your pork loin, the biggest mistake most people make is over cooking it.

Take it off the smoker at 140 & let it rest on the counter for 15-20 minutes.

The carryover cooking will bring it up to 145 and it will be tender & juicy, also a little pink.

Good luck!

Al
