Smoked apple pork loin.

[brandon91]

This is the second loin I've done since I started smoking, turned out better in my opinion than the maple one I tried.

Brine:

             - 2 quarts water

             - 2 quarts apple juice/cider

             - 1 cup kosher salt

             - 1/2 cup brown sugar

             - 1 cinnamon stick

             - 5 whole cloves

             - 1Tbsp peppercorns

             - Zest of 1 orange

             - 1tsp crushed chipotle pepper

I had mine in the brine for 9 hours in total on a 2.7lb loin.

Your loin looks good man! 

  I use a Maverick as my go-to thermometer & have been perfectly happy with it...

Looks great. I use a mav too.

I just bought a weber instant read for 10 bucks. I love it.
