Quick Simple Pork loin

[disco]

Spring is a crazy time for me. I golf 3 times a week. We have an acreage so there is a lot of work planting and getting the property in shape. This year I have added a monthly TV show on community TV to my to list. Then there is the Gyro club and Toastmasters. Busy!



So, when She Who Must Be Obeyed pointed to a piece of pork loin for dinner, I was not in the mood for anything fancy. This post is a reminder that smoking makes great food even when you just use the smoke for flavour.



I rubbed the pork loin down with Louisiana Grills Tennessee Butter rub.

I preheated my smoker to 250 F with hickory pellets.

I put the loin on with my Blue Therm Duo hooked up.

The alarm went off when the internal temperature was 150 F.

The Verdict



This was tasty, moist, had a nice smoke kiss with a smoke ring. It was delicious. Remember, sometimes smoke is all you need.

Sometimes the simple things in life are very enjoyable, and that loin is proof of that!

I totally agree with you on the pork loin.

We do a similar cook on ours. Only difference is I like to smoke mine in a pan with some broth.

Of course yours looks fantastic as usual!

Point!

I use some stock if I want gravy but I was even too lazy for that this time. Thanks for the point!

Sometimes we forget how good simple bbq can be. A lot of times we go overboard trying to perfect a rub or a sauce when all it takes is some simple prep to make a great meal.

Glad you posted this Disco. I've been busy reading all these posts about the fantastic meals people have been smoking. Fantastic but busy busy 2 day affairs.

Miss Linda asked what I was cooking for supper Sunday (when I'm not working and she is, cooking is my department). I told her it would be pork tenderloin--plain and simple tenderloin.

Tonight i trimmed it up and it's marinating in a store bought marinade. Tomorrow it gets bathed in pecan and hickory.

Plain and simple is GOOD.

POINTS for simple.
