Traeger Smoked Pork Loin

Pork loin is one of the most cost-effective meats you can cook and also one of the easiest! When you treat it right, it can be one of the most tender cuts of pork, and it works really well in a number of different mains and next to lots of different sides.

Pork loin and pork tenderloin are much different cuts of meat, from different parts of the animal, so make sure you are using the appropriate method for the cut of meat that you have.

How To Make This Recipe

This is just the overview so you can see what you're actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you'll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

Preheat your pellet grill – You want to get it to 225°F for this recipe. Give it plenty of time to get there!
Trim and rub – Trim your pork loin of any excess fat or silver skin, rub it lightly with oil and then coat with the Spicy Pork Rub.
Smoke – Put the pork loin on the grill and cook for several hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F internally. Your best bet will be a wifi thermometer. Our favorite is the Meater probe.
Rest – Tent the pork loin under foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute before slicing.
Slice and enjoy – Slice the loin into 1 – 1 1/2 inch thick slices and serve with your favorite sides. We liked steamed buttered green beans and garlic mashed potatoes.

Traeger Smoked Pork Loin

A whole pork loin gets rubbed with one of our favorite bbq rubs before hitting the Traeger for a low-and-slow smoke. So simple, and so perfect next to whatever sides you want to throw next to it!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 3 hours

Total Time 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 whole pork loin
2 tablespoons oil (avocado or olive, preferably)
3 tablespoons OWYD Spicy Pork Rub

Instructions

Preheat your Traeger to 225°F according to factory directions.
Remove the loin from the packaging, pat dry with paper towels, and trim off any excess skin, silver skin (if present), or fat.
Brush with oil and sprinkle the rub over all sides of the pork loin.
Place onto the pre-heated grill and let cook, turning every 30-45 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. ALWAYS cook to temp and never to time, but if you are looking for a ballpark you can figure 2.5 - 3.5 hours, depending on many different factors.
Remove from the grill and tent with foil. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
