Seasoned Pork Loins

[Winterrider]

Question for the more knowledgeable. Couple friends and I are going to smoke some pork loins for a golf tournament. One guy seasoned them already and wrapped tight with saran wrap, wasn't going to smoke until Friday and then we would warm them Saturday morning in roaster pan with Au juice. If seasoned already is that going to have a tendency to make the pork kinda mushy if not smoking until Friday? I think he used Killer Hog BBQ Rub.

I've been doing them heavily seasoned and held 3 to 4 days ( or more ) under vacuum .
Then smoke , slice and reheat in a pan for sandwiches . So pretty much the same as you're talking about . Never been mushy .
This was a heavy coating of salt , pepper and whatever else looked good that day .
Ground it all up by hand .

Rubbed , Vac'd and in the fridge . Was at least 4 days .

Smoked to 140

Super moist and tender

Thanks chopsaw , that's what I wanted to hear. I mentioned vacuum sealing but if they are wrapped tightly, be about same thing. Plan is taking to 140°. Appreciate the info !

My normal would be to wrap tight in plastic wrap . Post up some pics if you can .

I told the guy who's smoking them that pictures are required.
I have a right and left F-wedge.
Probably wouldn't go over well, it's our Mens Association Tournament.

Just watch the IT, don’t go any higher at any point than 150 but 140-145 is best. This, to me, is critical for good pork loin. Dont over cook.

Agree 100%, we pull our’s at 138 & rest under a foil tent for 10-15 minutes.
