Please keep a kitchen fan on and a window open. I don't care if it's 15 below. Just do it, and you'll be glad. Don't do it, and I'll see you in the hospital for CO1 poisoning

[edit] Ingredients

1 boneless pork loin roast

Hickory chips

Brine

1 cup kosher salt

3/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns

2 cups very hot apple cider vinegar

2 pounds ice

Rub

2 tablespoons smoked paprika

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 heaping tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tbsp cracked black peppercorns

1 tbsp dried rosemary

2 tbsp dried thyme

[edit] Directions

1. Combine all brine ingredients in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add pork roast and refridgerate 3 hours.
2. Remove pork from brine. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
3. Combine rub ingredients. Massage into pork and refridgerate overnight.
4. The next day, place a roasting rack into a large roasting pan with a good amount of hickory chips in it. Insert a probe thermometer into the roast and bake at 200 degrees F until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
5. Move to a plate and let rest uncovered 5 minutes. Serve thick sliced with some BBQ sauce on the side (Strike that; sauce is for kiddies.).
