. Pork loin is easy to overcook and then it dries out and can't be brought back. I usually make loin or chops on my charcoal smoker. It doesn't get very hot, likely not over 180. It has a water pan above the charcoal that will boil and add steam to the smoke. Chops takes about 2-3 hours and loins about 6.
+1, pork is the other white meat, no fat (marbling) in a loin, just some on the outside. I put the fat on top and don't cook over 140-145 degrees using a thermometer inserted in the middle of the loin.
You can cut the lion into butterfly or boneless pork chops, too. |
