Easy Braided Smoked Pork Loin By Ole Hickory Pits

Easy Braided Smoked Pork Loin By Ole Hickory Pits

Wanting to impress your guests for dinner. This easy braided pork loin will do just that! Simple to prepare and complemented by an explosion of flavor. What are you waiting for? Let us tell you how!

Start by making two cuts along the pork loin, leaving about an inch or two uncut at one end. This will create three connected strips. Next, cut these strips in half to form smaller sections. Season the pork generously with your favorite BBQ rub—we used our All-Purpose. Because bacon makes everything better, we added a strip of bacon between the halves. Then, twist each of the three strips individually to create a braided effect, securing them with a skewer. Let the pork loin rest while you prepare the smoker.

Preheat your Ole Hickory CTO-TQ to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to reach the desired temperature. As it heats up, add your preferred, we used our squogs. Once the smoker is ready, place the pork loin inside. It should take about 1 ½ to 2 hours, depending on the size of the loin. We are shooting for an internal temperature of 145-150. This temperature ensures that the pork is both safe to eat and juicy.

To finish, drizzle your favorite BBQ sauce over the loin and leave it in the smoker for a few more minutes to let the sauce set. Once done, remove the pork loin and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
