Ingredients

Meat

  • 5 - 8 pound pork loin

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary crushed

Instructions

  • Pre-heat smoker to 225°F using hickory or apple wood
  • Combine the dry ingredients (minus the olive oil) in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Rub pork loin with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning evenly on all sides of the roast.
  • Place the pork loin fat side up directly on the smoker rack away from direct heat.
  • Smoke for 2.5 hours at 225°F until an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing into ½" pieces. Serve with mashed potatoes, carrots, corn, or your favorite side dish. Don't forget the pork gravy!

Notes

  • Trim the fat cap down to ¼" thick before cooking.
  • Pull of the smoker when the temperature hits 145°F, don't overcook the pork or it will become dry.
  • Using a fruit wood such as apple compliments the pork best.
  • Remove the roast with your hands wearing these nitrile and cotton gloves.
