Leaner the Meat - Higher the Heat ... Not all wise sayings hold true but you'll find that naturally lean pork loin roasts are well adapted to roasting at 350ºF. Smoke the pork loin at 180º to 225º for an hour before cranking up the pit temperature to 350ºF if desired. Either way you'll enjoy an exquisite meal.
- Season - Score the thin layer of fat on a 3 to 4 pound pork loin before rubbing all sides with roasted garlic extra virgin olive oil. Dust the loin with a generous amount of Jans Dry Rub.
- Rest - Wrap the seasoned pork loin in food grade plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours allowing the seasoning to permeate the pork.
- Roast - Preheat MAK 2 Star General wood pellet smoker-grill to 350ºF using Pacific Pellet Gourmet Apple wood pellets. Roast the pork loin for approximately 80 to 90 minutes until the Internal Temperature reaches 145ºF.
- Rest - Remove the roasted pork loin and rest loosely under a foil tent for 15 minutes before carving.
- Slice - Carve the pork loin to your desired thickness. I prefer to slice mine thinly in order to use the leftovers for some great sandwiches.
- Serve - The Money $Shot$ ... Roasted pork loin, fried red onions and diced leftover infrared baked potatoes, and a nice green salad with avocado slices.
- Vacuum Seal - Depending on your family needs vacuum seal the rest of the pork loin and freeze for future use. Great way to build up a wonderful stash of meat.
