How long does it take to smoke a 3 pound pork roast?
Cooking the pork can take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound to cook (roughly 6 to 8 hours), as it depends on the toughness of the pork butt. Cook the pork until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 195 to 200 degrees F. with your cooking thermometer.

How long do you smoke pork loin per pound?
Place the pork loin directly onto the grates of the smoker and smoke for roughly half an hour per pound (in this case, 2.5 hours), or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit when tested with a meat probe.
How long does it take to smoke a 3lb pork roast at 250 degrees?
Place the pork shoulder on the grate above drip pan after the smoker begins to smoke and is at 250 degrees. Smoke for about 60 to 90 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195-205 degrees.
Do you smoke pork loin fat side up or down?
Cooking it fatty-side up, the fat will drip down the sides of your pork loin, essentially covering it in flavorful juice. Some of the fat may still drip through the grate, but most will remain trapped on the sides of the pork loin. You’ll experience a better flavor when cooking pork loin fatty-side up in your smoker.

How do you keep pork loin from drying out?
Place your pork loin fat side up in your roasting pan. By having the fat on top, you’re allowing the fat layer to baste the roast as it cooks. This is the step that keeps the pork from becoming dry and tough! Cook the pork loin for 10 minutes in the 400-degree oven.
Should I wrap a pork loin when smoking?
We recommend smoking a pork loin without wrapping it in foil. The foil can prevent the smoke flavor from penetrating the meat, which is what gives the loin so much flavor. The pork loin is a lean cut, though, so wrapping it can prevent it from drying out over extended periods of time in a smoker.
