Best Smoked Pork Loin

DateSunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:18PM

I was talking to one of my colleagues at work and he was talking about brining pork chops.  He was telling me how wonderful it made his chops taste and that I should try it.   My smoker seemed a little neglected so I thought this weekend I could smoke a brined pork loin.   I put together the brine and soaked the pork loin for 48 hours.  

I set the smoker for 180 degrees with apple pellets and prepared a simple mop of half apple juice with half water.   I elected to go with a my digital thermometer by Weber to track the temperature.  I pulled the loin off when it 165 degrees and wrapped it in tinfoil to continue to cook.

I was very surprised how juicy the pork turned out and the hint of apple. My little boy just loves pork and soon as he took the first bite he went ummm more. The pork absorbded just the right amount or sugar and salt from the brine. If you look closely you can see the smoke ring from the apple wood.
