Have friends coming over and thinking of cooking a boneless loin (center cut section). Looking for suggestions. Thinking will smoke but not sure at what temp since such lean meat. Also thinking about stuffing - maybe some combo of sausage, onions, celery, etc. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Have done bacon wrapped pork tenderloins before that turned out well but wondering about loin this time.

The center cut loin, like the pork tenderloin, is a lean piece of meat better suited for higher temp cook........say 325°-375°.....and give it a hit of smoke in the beginning. Here is a recipe that I would suggest, but your own ingredients and imagination will work fine. Depending on the size of the roast, figure around one hour (maybe more) of cooking time.

Thanks. I want to try it! Two questions: 1. Do I need to brine the loin? 2. Should I cook it indirect?
Thanks for the help!!!!!

I wouldn't go for more than 4-6 hours if you decide to brine it. Hopefully it has not been already 'brined' by the producer (it will tell on the label). Yes, cook it indirect and turn it at least once during cooking.
