Instructions
Prepping the Pork Loin
Start by selecting a beautiful boneless pork loin. Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, prepare your seasoning rub by combining brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Mix it up until it's well-blended, and you've got a mouthwatering rub ready to roll.
Place the pork loin on a clean surface, and generously rub the seasoning mix all over the pork loin. Make sure it's coated evenly, like it's getting ready for a sunbath.
Preparing the Camp Chef Smoker
Fire up your Camp Chef smoker to a sizzling 225°F. While the smoker is heating up, soak 3 cups of hickory wood chips in water for about 30 minutes. You want them smoldering, not blazing. Hickory adds a delightful smokiness to your pork loin.
Once the smoker is up to temperature, drain the soaked wood chips and toss them into the smoker box or wood chip tray.
Time to Smoke
Place your beautifully seasoned pork loin on the smoker rack and close the smoker's lid. It usually takes around 2.5 to 3 hours to reach an internal temperature of 145°F. So, you've got some time to kick back, relax, and maybe enjoy a cold one.
Let the Pork Rest
When that thermometer hits 145°F, take your pork loin off the smoker and let it rest for a bit. This is when the juices redistribute, and the flavors mingle and make magic together. Give it a solid 15-20 minutes of quiet time.
Slicing and Serving
it's time to slice that beauty after the waiting game. Use a sharp knife to cut into thick, succulent slices. Serve it with some of your favorite sides, and you've got a meal that'll make your taste buds dance a jig!
