Step 1

Mix the BBQ rub ingredients together and evenly coat the trimmed pork loin. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat your smoker to 225ºF* for 15 minutes, lid closed.

Step 3

Add the pork loin to the grill and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 155ºF to 165ºF or until you're happy with the bark that's formed, about 4 hours. Optional: Spritz with apple juice or apple cider vinegar every 60-90 minutes.

Step 4

Mix the apple juice and BBQ sauce together in an aluminum grill pan or smoker-safe dish. Place the smoked pork loin in the tray and cover tightly with foil.

Step 5

Increase the temperature to 300ºF and smoke until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 205ºF in several places.

Step 6

Let the pork rest for at least 30 minutes before transferring the sauce in the pan to a bowl and pulling the pork. You can add the sauce back to the pork or serve it on the side. (To thicken the sauce, stir in a slurry consisting of 2 Tablespoons corn starch and 1 Tablespoon water.)
