Smoked Pork Loin on the Traeger Pellet Grill with MotG Rub

Hey everyone,
With the weekend coming up, I decided to share an easy recipe for making Smoked Pork Loin on my Traeger Pellet Grill
To season it, I’m using my new PORK RUB & SEASONING!
I’ve been wanting to share these great seasonings that I’ve learned how to make over the years
and now you can buy them on my MotG website!
www.marcsonthegrill.com/produ...
Over the years, I’ve learned from some of the best chefs and restaurants and this rub will knock you out!
But you need more that great seasoning to perfectly smoke, or roast, any thick cut of meat, like this Pork Loin…Touching it or poking it just won’t do the trick
That’s why I’m using the iChef by Maverick
Works with Bluetooth, it’s easy to set up and you can be up to 300 feet away, in line of sight!
www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Wire...
I hope you like this recipe! Please share it with your friends and do try some of my great new seasonings and rubs
See you outback

Great video. Will try this today. A summary, at the end, of temps a cooking times would make the video even greater.

[@craigdiesel1162181]

Thanks for the video. Just a side note, your smoker has a small hole on the side to run your thermometer wires through. 🙂

I smoked our first pork loin this past weekend on our Traeger following your video and it did not disappoint! It was so juicy and tender. My family said it was the best loin they’ve ever had!

[@paxtonm.2444]

I just smoked my first tenderloin following your method, and I have to say this was the best tenderloin I’ve ever ate! This recipe was so easy for me to follow, and the temperature was spot on for a perfect cook!

Ok using your recipe again! The first one was amazing! I appreciate you posting this with all the details!

Quick tip for you Marc: You have a probe insert on the left side of your grill. You can use that and not have to pinch cables or lose the seal on your grill. Also, great video! I’m doing this tonight

That recipe came out great but I did change it up with just a little bit. I was followed up until the 275 degree change. The last 20 minutes I cranked it up to 375 with BBQ sauce to caramelize it. I finished it up with super smoke mode for 5 minutes. I then I let it sit on The Cutting Board wrapped in tinfoil and covered in newspaper for 20 minutes. The wife loved the surprise lunch break that she got

Just got done smoking a pork tenderloin yesterday with hickory and cherry wood and it came out fantastic! I used my own rub with garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, sage, a little bit of cayenne powder, coarse sea salt, and brown sugar. I did mine at 225 for 3.5 hours with a meteater probe till it was 145 degrees and it was very very good.

Perfect timing. Thanks for the rub idea. Now gotta wait till mine defrosts.

Nice video Marc and very well explained. I have a Traeger Texas Elite pellet grill which I bought a few years back at Costco. I do not get a good smoke taste from the pellet grill even using a smoke tube. I generally do everything on my Chargriiller Akorn Kamado or my Pit Barrel Cooker. Any suggestions?? I use Lumberjack premium pellets. Just subscribed!!!

[@PrimeTime2626]

This guy is awesome.

[@kevinthompson6116]

I'm doing one of these today, using your recipe (different rub--have to use what's on hand). One suggestion: it should almost go without saying, but you might want to mention to your audience that "if you're looking, you ain't cooking". They ought to minimize the amount of time the lid is open during the cook. (Unless they're making a video, of course)

[@JourneymanLineman]

[@Josue-rd5gt]

Man I have an 8# pork loin in the fridge marinating since this morning. I’ve been looking up videos on how to smoke it in yours is exactly what I was looking for. I have a vertical pellet smoker and to get that added smoke flavor I have something called “Smoke Daddy Magnum P.I.G. Cold Smoke Generator” I can cook at 350 if I want and have smoke from that extra device as long as I want it in the cook. It complements my pellet smoker very well.

[@marcsonthegrill2227]

Thanks for watching, Josue! I'm delighted you found it! Sounds like it's gonna be a great meal (marinating all day, wow!) Don't forget to participate in my REC TEC 340 Give-Away...Happy Holidays!

Hi.. Is the temperature and time the same if you are smoking a 5 # roast ? Thanx🌷

[@marcsonthegrill2227]

Thanks for watching an asking, Theresa! I recommend smoking your pork loin at about 220 degrees Fahrenheit should generate a cooking time of roughly half an hour per pound (so a 5-pound cut will cook in roughly 2 1/2 hours).

[@Musicatmatts]

I am curious what changed to where you can cook pork to a lower internal temperature than you used to be able to. 6:12 What's different 'nowadays'? I'm not following at all.

[@ammerudgrenda]

Trichinosis used to be a problem with pork in the past. It's a parasite that could in rare cases be fatal. Farm raised pork is not, anymore, considered a health issue. Cooking to a higher temperature would eliminate the parasite.

[@cornbread2u2]

In the mean time you’ve left your lid open long enough that your chamber temp is a 125° and your cook time is longer.

[@willhammers9761]

Honest question... Why is it that some professionals say 225 degrees for two hours and then it's a perfect hundred and forty five degrees... Then other professional say 4 hours at 225 degrees in at the perfect hundred and forty degrees... How is this possible

[@marcsonthegrill2227]

Thanks for watching and asking! Here’s how I look at it…with a smoker at 225-250° F, it can take from one hour per pound (if you're lucky) to one and one-half hours per pound to cook, and maybe even longer depending on the size and fat content of the shoulder. When the pork shoulder reaches about 190°F, start checking it for tenderness with a fork. So, I recommend that you use a good thermometer, (I like Maverick) close the lid and smoke the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 195°F…you can cook to 201°F if you like softer pork. Really, I don’t know why chefs and writers have such different recipes…but what I wrote is how I smoke

[@grampabadger]

@@marcsonthegrill2227 The question was about a loin, not a shoulder.

so..confused. you put it on grill at 225, say you'll leave it there for 2.5 hours with the plan to turn it up to 375 to finish, then you come back after only an hour and turn it to 300. Little confused....

[@marcsonthegrill2227]

Hope this helps... sorry for the late reply... This is the easiest way I know Serves: 4 Prep Time: 20 minutes Smoking Time: 2 hours 30 minutes Temperature: 275F Wood: Maple, Pecan or Peach Ingredients: 5-pound pork loin 2 ounces of olive oil 4 ounces of pork seasoning 1 tablespoon of brown sugar Instructions: 1. Preheat your smoker. 2. With a sharp knife crisscross the fat layer. Then brush on the olive oil. 3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the pork seasoning. Then rub it into the pork loin. 4. Set it in the smoker and it’s done when the internal temperature is 145oF. It’s important not to overcook pork loin in this recipe. 5. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes. The meat is more tender when the juices stay put for a while. I use half an hour per pound, as a point of reference. If you want to give it a little more flavor, brush the pork with my Smoked Bacon Flavored BBQ Sauce. If you want to give the pork a little more spiciness, add 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper to the rub.

[@Capitalcity916]

So 150 not 145

[@illuddivinus3309]

Fat side down. That’s basically the most important part. All the other theatrics are bullshit, you can cook it all the way through until 140temp. Let it rest for 20min and you’re good. Also, please use stone ground mustard. That yellow hot dog shit is messy and it doesn’t impart any flavor. The 2nd trick is to let it marinate over night with mustard and seasoning. You’re welcome 👌🏼
