My local Winco has whole pork loins for $1.98/lb. They all run about 10 pounds. I'm going to smoke the one I just bought on Sunday.
My game plan is to remove most of the small fat cap, cut the loin into 2 pieces( about 3" thick x 12" " long each), and smoke them at 225°. They are pretty lean however I didn't plan on brineing, but I'm open to suggestions. A little olive oil, a light rub, and in they will go. I believe 2 five pounders should be done in about the same time as one would, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to an IT of 145, then an hour rest.
Are my times about right, and what would you do differently ?
