Hey all .. I am doing a pork loin soon (top loin, not tenderloin) .. about 3.5lb.
Having some trouble figuring out the best way to cook it, and and for how long. I know, I know.. target the temp, not the time. Problem is, the cook times I'm seeing are all over the place, ranging from as little as 1 hour to as much as 3 hours or more for a loin this size.
And I saw some comments on this board recommending cooking it faster and a higher temp so it doesn't dry out, since it's a lean cut. But, I want to smoke it, so I'm not sure what to do.
Looking for some pointers on this one. What do you recommend?
Thank you
