pork loin tough

[Thunder77]

Hi, smoke disciple, you could have had a tough roast, but the loin is a leaner cut of meat, and does not really take to low and slow. I would go around 325-350, on indirect heat with pork loin. Still take it to 137-140 pull temp, but the higher pit temp will get you there more quickly, and usually with a better result.

Oh, and welcome to the Pit!!

I smoked a pork loin roast yesterday, low and slow, about 250. I used a digital meat thermometer and took it off at about 137 degrees. Flavor was good but meat was tough. Could it be the meat was just tough.
