Pork Sirloin Tip Roast

I just received my woo and stone and am wanting to smoke some pork this weekend. I picked up some Pork sirloin Tip roast (4- 2lb roasts). Any suggestions as to what to do with it?

    Absolutely. Simply rub it down with your choice of rub. That can be as simple as salt & pepper or as exotic as unicorn tears and fairy dust. Just use whatever you like. 
    Cook it indirect until an internal temp of 140-145 degrees. As far as the cooking temp, it will cook well at any temp from 200-450 degrees. However I find 350-400 to be a good happy medium. They are one of the more simple things out there to cook. Just don't over cook it my friend.

    @SGH when you pull it at 140ish does it end up in the 150's after rest cooking in that 350-400 range?

    What he said. Not enough connectivie stuff to make pulled pork or something like that. I do most pork at 250 degrees or thereabouts. Important point is don't cook more than 140 or so.

    I haven't had one climb quite that high. I usually try to catch them right at the 140 mark and they climb to around 145. Due to their odd shape, and being bigger around than they are long, they usually don't have quite as much of a temp climb as a cut that is more cylindrical or uniform in shape.

    You may want to brine it for a couple of days too.

    If time allows, then this^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
    Or you could short cut it and inject of short for time.

    Cider, salt, brown sugar, concentrated apple juice with whole cinnamon, juniper berries, garlic, rosemary, bay leaves and apple liqueur.

    You could throw onions, shallots or anything else you wanted in too. I like the concentrated apple juice cause it's intense. Couple of beers wouldn't hurt either
