SmilerGreetings! First off I apologize for asking a question thats probably been asked many times over, but I can't find the answer in the archives. I recently purchased a SmoketteII & to compliment it I bought a copy of "still smokin'". Tomorrow I'm doing the "pepper garlic pork loin" It says to smoke-cook until the bacons crisp. It doesn't say at what temp or for how long. I hate to keep opening the door to check the bacon. I'll use a probe to set the temp at about 155˚ But I need to know the approximate time. I've found folks saying anything from 2½ to 6 hours. I suppose it depends on the size, I'll be doing about 8lbs or so. Thanks for any advice

Run the cooker as hot as it will go.

Put the probe in the deepest part and cook to 145 degrees internal.-not 155.

Foil and let rest at least 30 mins.

I doubt the bacon will ever get crisp,but I could be wrong.

Go to page top and click FIND,input porkloin,select all forums.

You should get all you will ever wish to know about loin.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for the comeback Tom.......but in all my searching I haven't found an approximate time for an 8lb loin. Plenty of temp suggestions(which I will follow), but I'm looking for an average time so I can plan. TIA
Took about 3 hours. The best I could find on the search was 4 hrs so not too far off. Cooked to an internal of 160˚ & a thermostat setting of 225˚, foil wrapped for an hour. It was extremely juicy & flavorful.......just right & everyone thought it was great. Brisket next time Smiler .



BTW got the recipe from "still smok'n"

Missed the pic with the slices(things were getting messy)but it was done to perfection. Took it out at 160˚ & foiled it for an hour. It was one of the juiciest pork roasts I have ever eaten. Maybe due to the bacon or the layer of fat. As far as the flavor, the combo of "sweet baby rays", jalapenos, & garlic spread in the middle really helped. Served it with baked taters, pinto beans, & stuffed jalapenos for dessert......mmmmmmmmm! Big Grin
