Ingredients
- 4-5 pound pork loin roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 teaspoons homemade spice rub below (or your favorite rub)
Homemade Spice Rub
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon mustard powder
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225℉ and top up the wood pellets.
- Very carefully, with a sharp knife, cut off the layer of fat on the roast. Score the pork in a diagonal pattern about ¼-inch deep all across the top where you just cut the fat off.
- Combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and mustard powder in a small bowl.
- Brush olive oil all over the entire outside of the pork roast. Sprinkle the spice rub all over, covering the top, bottom, and sides. Use your fingers to push the rub into the meat.
- Place the pork roast directly on the preheated grill and insert a thermometer probe into the thickest part of the meat. Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 145℉. (This will take approximately 2-3 hours.)
- Remove the smoked pork loin roast from the grill, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice the roast against the grain and serve with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure you cut off the fat cap.
- Use a temperature probe so you don't have to keep opening up the lid of the pellet smoker to check on the meat.
- Do not cook the meat higher than 145 degrees F or it may dry out.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
