bbq pork loin

This pork loin (or tenderloin) is rubbed with a traditional sweet homemade BBQ rub and then slow smoked on a Pit Boss pellet grill to perfection.  The ultimate (and easiest) way to smoke a pork roast on a Pit Boss!

Pit Boss Smoked Pork Loin

Tbsp Olive Oil

½ Cup Brown Sugar

Tbsp Smoked Paprika

Tbsp Chili Powder

tsp Onion Powder

tsp Garlic Powder

tsp Cumin

Pepper

tsp Sea Salt (adjust

Use a good boning or filet knife first remove any excessive fat from the top and sides of the pork loin

If there is a fat cap, trim it to about 1/4 inch thickness and then score it with crosshatch marks.

Trim and Score the Pork Loin

Place the pork loin on a cutting board or wire rack on top of a baking sheet.  Rub with olive oil on all sides.

Mix the BBQ Pork Rub ingredients together well in a small mixing bowl

Apply the rub generously to all sides of the pork loin.  You can let it rest and absorb the rub wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight while you prepare the Pit Boss.

Season the Pork Loin

Remove the fire pot from the bottom of the Pit Boss and clean out any ashes left over from the last cook. Replace it and make sure it is secured in place with the clips on either side. Also, wrap the drip tray in aluminum foil to limit cleanup needed later.

Add your chosen pellets to the hopper, start the Pit Boss pellet grill and put it on the "Smoke" setting.

If there are no pellets in the auger, hold the "Prime" button until you hear pellets begin falling in the fire pot. This will speed up the auger to prime it full of pellets before you start preheating.

Once the Pit boss begins to produce thick white smoke, let it run for about 5-7 minutes until the smoke turns more of a clearish blue color. This means the fire rod has fully heated up to burn the pellets more cleanly.

Next, set the temperature to preheat the Pit Boss pellet grill to 350°F. We will drop this temperature before we start cooking.

Fill an aluminum pan with water pan if you want to add extra moisture, and place it on the far left side of the Pit Boss pellet grill. Place a disposable bucket liner in the grease bucket as well if you want to limit cleanup later.

Once the Pit Boss has come up to 350°F, drop the temperature on the control panel to 250° and clean the grill grates with a good grill brush and close the lid.

Start the Pit Boss Pellet Grill

Once the temperature of the Pit Boss drops to 250°F, place the seasoned pork loin in the cooking chamber with the thickest part facing towards the hotter right side. Place a temperature probe into the center.

Close the lid and cook at this temperature until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F, about 1 hour per pound.

Smoke the Pork Loin on the Pit Boss

Remove the smoked pork loin and let it rest on a cutting board, uncovered for 20-30 minutes.

Slice the pork in thick 1 inch slices for each guest starting at the thinnest end and working your way to the center. Only slice what you plan to serve immediately so that the pieces do not dry out.

Serve immediately with warmed BBQ sauce optionally.

In today's video we show you how to smoke the most tender, juicy pork loin that you have ever seen. Smoking pork loin on the Pit Boss (3 Series) Vertical pellet smoker makes this one of the easiest and most flavorful pork loin we've ever cooked. There is just something special about the smoke flavor that the pellets put into the pork.

You could just as easily use one of the Pit Boss pellet grills to achieve the same results.

I have always liked vertical smokers because they are easy to maneuver and store when you aren't using them, and they are super efficient with the pellets which is going to save you money in the long run.

Smoked Pork Loin

Pork Loin roast

Apple juice

Apple cider vinegar

Worcestershire sauce

MEATER Plus Bluetooth Thermometer, optional

ThermoPro Instant Read Thermometer, optional

Preheat the smoker

Preheat smoker to 225°F. Most pellet grills don’t need it, but you can add a pan of water in the corner of the smoker to keep moisture inside. If using a Traeger with the Super Smoke setting, turn it on as well.

Trim the pork loin

Trim off any excess fat or silver skin. I usually leave 1/4" of fat on top of the pork loin to protect the meat and add additional flavor, but remove it if desired.

Season and optionally inject the pork loin

If injecting the pork loin, combine all of the injection ingredients in a tall, narrow glass. This makes it easier to pull the liquid into the injector. Inject the meat every inch in a checker board pattern across the entire pork loin. If using a custom seasoning, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Apply a heavy coating of the rub to all sides of the pork loin. If desired, wrap seasoned pork loin in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to overnight.

Smoke the pork loin

Place the pork loin on the grill grates of your smoker and smoke for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Cook until the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. I recommend using a good leave-in meat thermometer so you don't have to constantly check the pork loin as it smokes.

Rest the smoked pork loin

Transfer the smoked pork loin to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat resulting in a super juicy smoked pork loin.

I love this bbq pork loin recipe (or pork tenderloin recipe) because it is simple to prepare and just cooks in the oven while you go off to do other things.
