Easy Smoked Pork Loin For Beginners

[@davidWilliams-rj8fl]

Darrin, I've been bbqing all my life but just recently got a pellet smoker. What a great new world now. Thank you for going over your posts with as much detail as you can. Especially temps and timing. Thanks again for all your programs. Dave

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Hi David! Thank you for the kind words and watching, I really do appreciate your support and it helps the channel so much! I love cooking on my drums, but I love cooking on pellets as well! There is no hate for any cookers in my garage! I hope you continue to enjoy your pellet cooker!

[@williebgoodtoot]

@@AshKickinBBQ is 140° a little low for cooking and smoking pork

[@AshKickinBBQ]

@@williebgoodtoot no it is not. Cooked to 140º and rested properly, you will get a carryover of 145º-147º, which is indeed safe.

[@williebgoodtoot]

@@AshKickinBBQ I would go no lower than 150 myself but to each his own

[@ltrigga219]

A few weeks ago, I tried this out. I made my own rub, but followed your procedure otherwise… I’m not kidding, this was the best pork loin I have ever eaten in my life. About to make it again today!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

I love hearing this brother

Hey Darrin! I recently purchased a Pit Boss Sportsman 820 and ive referenced your channel a ton!! Ive done a loin once already and it was probably my favorite cook so far. I just discovered my local grocer carries Duroc pork so I got 2 of them going today. Cannot wait for the results!! Going to try some Duroc pork belly soon too!! Thanks for the awesome content!!

[@oscartrillo8966]

Love the simple approach! Quick question at what temp and how long did you cook for? I still smoke my meat by temperature and time. Though I have been looking into getting a meat thermometer.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

300 degrees until it reached 140 internal. I can't give you a time, you need a thermometer for this cook.

[@johnnywatkins6256]

Great video, the loin had great color and was juicy. What was the total cook time ? Looking to do one this Sunday

[@AshKickinBBQ]

I usually don’t advocate for cooking to a specific temperature, but cook to temp on the pork loin, your time will vary depending on size, but if you cook to temp it’ll be perfect every time.

[@petitjeanriverhomestead]

I've been using Oakland Dust Rubs for 10 years now. Their pork rub is second to none. You might want to try it. You'll thank me I know it! If you try it and it's not the best let me know what is. Oh and I got a loin in the fridge for Saturday!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Hmm, I’m always game for trying new product. Is it available online? Never seen it anywhere around here.

[@petitjeanriverhomestead]

@@AshKickinBBQ Yes it is I moved from California where it was at most stores now I live in Arkansas and have it imported! I have never found better. If there's is let me know.

[@josmit2213]

Maybe a silly question. But I just bought a half pork loin. It’s about 3 1/2 lb’s. So it’s the same thickness as the hole 7 lb loin would’ve been it’s just cut right in half. Do I smoke for the same time I would if it was the whole thing or do I cut that time in half?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Time won’t change. Cook to temp, not by time on these

[@scottcarrier1121]

Pork loin is bomb brother! Question….what’s your take on the Oak Charcoal Pellets? I know the burn very hot but how about the cook? Not on this cook but in general? Thx

[@AshKickinBBQ]

I absolutely love them for brisket. Highly recommended Bear Mountain oak pellets. I’ve never noticed them burning hot personally

[@scottcarrier1121]

@@AshKickinBBQ I guess what I meant to say is that if you want to sear with the Pitt boss. On high the flames actually shoot all the up above the grill. Scary!

[@corvetteswithbowie7529]

Would cooking temp be same on a pit boss smoker ? Also I couldn’t make out what you said after it hit 140. You let it rest for 20 minutes on wood block or did you wrap it in foil ? Thanks. Love your channel.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thanks so much! Yes, the temp would be the same. I loosely covered it in foil and let it rest. Thanks for the support!

[@icecreamsikeyuhasz5689]

Gonna give this a try! Pit Boss 1100 combo. So no apple juice spritzing? Had seen some other vids showing occasional spritzing, or not necessary? Thanks! Looks awesome!!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

You don't need to spritz. You can if you want. Personal preference.

How long did it take at 275-300* to get it at IT 140*?

It depends on the size of your roast.

So you pull it @ 138 inertial I thought it should be 165 . I’m cooking one on my pellet grill to day it’s my 2nd time cooking one . The first one was a little on the dry side @ 165 internal. Maybe i will try 140 today.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

165° used to be the guidelines back in the day. It is now common knowledge pork is safe to consume at 145° for cuts. So pulling at 140° and let it’s carrying over to 145° will yield you a more tender and juicy end product. I hope this helps 👍🏼
