Smoked Porchetta?

[DanMancuso]

I'm smoking a porchetta tomorrow and I'm not sure what temp to take it off at. I wrapped a brined pork loin in a pork belly blanket. Any suggestions on what the loin temp should be when I pull it off? I've heard between 140 and 190. I do plan to crisp up the skin on a hot grill for a couple of minutes on each side when I take it off the smoker.

I think loin is overdone at 180. My opinion: 165.

By the way, post the results. I want to do porchetta and I think you are off to a good start.

i like pork as rare as possible. I'd pull around 145 and then do your sear. You don't want that beauty dried out.

If you are planning to slice it and crisp individual pieces I'm in agreement with EdF.
