Smoked Pork Loin

4 lb pork loin roast
1 oz apple cider vinegar
1 oz whiskey (it will cook off the alcohol)

Rub Recipe
1 Tbsp brown sugar

2 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp mustard powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Make spice rub by mixing the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt and pepper with the mustard and onion powders. 

Combine the apple cider vinegar and whiskey in a small glass container. 

Using the sharp end of a knife, poke a series of small holes in the outside of the roast.  

Rub the roast down with the apple cider vinegar and whiskey mixture.  

Coat the roast with the spice rub, making sure to get it everywhere.  

Smoke the pork loin roast for 2 1/2 - 3 hours at 225 degrees.

The roast should smoke until the internal temp in the thickest part of the roast reaches 145 degrees.  

Rest the roast covered with foil for 15 minutes before slicing it thin.
