Pork Loin

Plan on smoking a pork loin today in apple wood. Do I get my egg up to my temp first then put the apple wood in or once I get my fire going should I then put the apple wood on?

I recommend putting the wood on after you light and let lump get to temp. Drop the wood, place the setter (if you're using it) and go. I always like to do that so I know the lump is burning clean before I add the wood. Don't want to confuse bad smoke with good smoke.

I like to get the fire going well, put in the plate setter and grill and let everything get to temp (about 30 min). Then I drop in my wood chunks and wait another 30 minutes for the smoke to settle in. Then cook.

I don't put too much smoke on a pork loin.  A half-handful of apple chips are all I use.  Get everything set, plate setter in, minimum to zero smoke, perfect temp, add the chips and put on that pork loin right away.  Enjoy!

hmmmm pork loin
That is one of our favorite meals! After smoking I slice it into medallions and then serve them drizzled with warmed Blue Hog's Tennessee Red as a finishing sauce! When guests are here they think I slaved for hours on that finishing sauce!
