The BEST smoked pork loin recipe has the perfect mixture of sweet and smoke. The meat comes out tender and juicy with big flavor every time! We make this in our home all year long because our family enjoys it so much!
This recipe calls for marinading overnight! Make sure you leave yourself enough time to marinade. If you don't have overnight, it needs to marinade for a minimum of 2 hours.
In a large bowl (large enough to fit your marinade and pork loin), combine apple juice, honey, pork rub, brown sugar, and rosemary.
Whisk to combine marinade and add pork loin. Rotate pork loin to ensure entire roast is covered with marinade.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap (or pour into large ziploc bag) and place in refrigerator overnight.
Set smoker temperature to 225 degrees.
Place smoked pork loin directly onto grill and cook until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep marinade for moping and injecting.
After roasts have been cooking for about an hour mop with marinade. If you have a meat injector, inject roast with marinade about every 2 inches.
Once meat has reached an internal temperature of 145 (usually about 2 1/2 to 3 hours) let rest for 10 minutes, slice and enjoy!
