Breakfast 75 Hr. 40 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 6 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pink salt #1 (curing salt)
  • 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin

Instructions

  • Mix water, kosher salt, sugar, maple syrup, garlic powder, and curing salt until dissolved.
  • Place the pork loin in a large bag or food-safe container large enough to completely submerge it in the brine. Add brine and refrigerate for at least 3 days.
  • Remove pork from brine and pat dry with paper towels; discard brine.
  • Preheat a smoker to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Place pork onto wire racks. Place the racks into the smoker. Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions. Smoke until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let cool before slicing.
