First Pork Loin

Dillonjm

I am a newbie Egg owner (less than 3 months) and have been lurking on the site since then. I never cooked a pork loin on the grill before, so this was my first one. I bought a small 2lb pork loin to try out. I cooked it indirect until 140-145ish and then pulled it and then seared it direct. I probably didnt need to sear it but I had some chicken breasts to cook quickly due to a storm coming in. I started out 240-270 and then bumped up to 350 (because of the storm). I used some Dizzy Pig Red Eye Rub, Applewood chips and some hard apple cider in a dip pan. The cook took about an hour and it was full of flavor and very juicy. I cant wait to try some of the other loin cooks from this site.

Thanks for the all the advice.

Thanks Mattman! I cant wait to try a bigger loin and some stuffed loin in the future.

I dont normally drink cider but it wasnt too bad.
