Pork Loin

Thanks to everyone that's posted tips for pork loin; it allowed for my first attempt to go relatively well.  I went with a rib rub direct at 325° until 135° then pulled, and wrapped for 30 minutes.  The result was amazing.  Thanks again, and keep it coming with the great tips and advice.

    Looks great !!!!

    I've been egging almost 2-1/2 years and have not cooked what I consider the perfect tenderloin. I've cooked some good ones, stuffed and everything else...but still not meeting my "perfect" expectation !!!!

    I've cooked everything from veg's to turduckens , but tenderloin....just will not come out to my expectations. Do not understand why...But I will keep trying !!!

    Keep posting food porn...you never know who you might inspire to try something again...I'll cook another one this weekend !!!!!!

    @squezz, it cooked rather quickly.  I didn't time it unfortunately but I would estimate it was about 25 minutes a lb.

    @dldawes1, thanks I appreciate. Just to avoid confusion, this was a loin roast not a tenderloin.  I'm yet to try a tenderloin myself.

    Did you have to wrap it? I'm cooking one this am and was going to smoke it at 225 until the internal temp was 150-155. It's only a small 4lb one

    @BigBlackV, I wrapped it @ 135° for about 30 minutes with a spray of apple juice.  The temp increased to about 145°.  Next time I'll only let it get to 140° and it should be a bit juicer.

    @BigBlackV - ah, I tied it so it kept its shape during cooking and to provide a consistent done was throughout.  I was torn too which is why I decided to go 325° direct.  There is no fat in this roast at all and my fear with L&S would be extreme dryness.

    Thank you. I started a thread and due to the leanness of this meat I'm gonna go direct until about 140 internal temp
