Common Questions
How long does it take to smoke boneless pork?
There are some variables that can go into the timing for cooking this pork loin recipe. If you're unsure about cooking time, the best bet is to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
After the 2.5 hours have passed, insert the probe thermometer into the thickest part of the pork. The internal temperature of pork should be 145 degrees in order for it to be considered safe to eat.
Can I smoke another cut of pork?
Of course. You can smoke a pork shoulder, pork butt, or any other cut. The time will vary based on how big it is. Check out our other smoked pork recipes for more information such as: Smoked Pork Chops, Traeger Pulled Pork, and Pellet Smoker Pork Tenderloin Recipe.
How do you keep pork moist when smoking?
Depending on the heat and length of time, there is always a worry that the meat being smoked will dry out. One of the easiest ways to combat this is to place a small bowl of water in the smoker. This helps to add moisture to the air while the meat is smoking, which can then help the meat not to dry out.
If you're worried that the meat is drying out, you can also spritz it with water to give it a little boost of moisture. This can help keep it moist in a fast and efficient way.
Make sure that you let the pork rest as well once it's done smoking so that the juices release and flow back int othe meat.
Does meat get more tender the longer you smoke it?
Yes, it does. This is why some people tend to smoke meats for quite some time and where the term "fall off the bone" likely comes from. You do have to be careful to not overcook this smoked pork loin because while meat does get more tender the longer it cooks, it always does run the risk of being overcooked and then drying out.
Also, meat that has a good fat cap tends to be a little bit more moist when smoking because the fat juices will release into the meat, helping to keep it juicy.
