Pork Loin?

[SuperDave]

7 lbs pork loin, how long to get to 145-150?

At 225, it'll go 3- 3.5 hours.  Try brining it - you'll like it!

Thanks. Our neighbor's daughter is getting baptized next weekend and they were going to crock pot them for the reception afterwards. I couldn't let that happen. Lol.

Crock pot not a good way to cook loin. Even in a crock pot it would get overcooked and dry.

I just did a brined pork loin. It's one of my favorite cuts to smoke (and then eat)!

How did you slice it?  I'd like to shave it thin for sandwiches.

Dave, I slice mine thin, with my carving knife, but you could use a slicer, if you have one.  Loins are very tender, and slice easy (like deli meat), so a good, sharp carving knife will give you great sammie slices!

Bingo. I just used a chef's knife. My bigger one is newer, so the blade is sharper. No issues carving at all.
