Step by Step Instructions

Step 2 – Slice and Butterfly the pork loin to create a flat surface for stuffing with a sharp knife. Season the inside of the butterflied pork loin with salt and pepper.
Step 3 – In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, chopped spinach, feta cheese, dried cranberries, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Add chicken broth and mix until the stuffing is moistened. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4 – Spread the stuffing evenly over the inside of the pork loin.
Step 5 – Roll up the pork loin tightly and secure it with kitchen twine.
Step 6 – In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to make the rub. Rub the vegetable oil over the surface of the pork loin, then apply the spice rub.
Step 7 – Place the stuffed pork loin in the smoker. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 145° Fahrenheit, approximately 2-3 hours. Remove the pork loin from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Recipe Tips
- Smoke Wood: Apple or cherry wood chips complement the pork well, hickory or mesquite will result in a stronger flavor. Feel free to use your preferred wood chips for smoking. You can also use a pellet grill to make this pork loin.
- Internal Temperature: The target internal temperature for pork loin is 145°F. Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The loin will continue to cook even after it’s removed from the smoker. So consider pulling it out a few degrees before it reaches the target temperature.
- Trussing Technique: Using kitchen twine or butcher’s twine to truss the rolled pork loin helps it hold its shape during smoking, leading to more even cooking and better presentation. I highly recommend using twine, but if you can not find it, you can roll up a piece of aluminum foil into a rope-like shape and use it to tie the meat. It won’t stick to the meat and can withstand the heat.
- Cutting Pork Loin – When you are preparing the pork loin, we recommend trimming the excess fat and silver skin.
