Smoked Pork Sirloin Tip Roast

I love the convenience of Costco Kirkland Swift Premium Pork Sirloin Tip Roasts.  These 3 pound roasts are vacuum sealed and come in a package of 4.  The small size is perfect for two and/or a small family.  Pork lends itself exceptionally well to smoke absorption and I have found that Apple or Hickory work great.  Today I chose Pacific Pellet Gourmet Apple wood BBQ pellets.  One of the beautiful side benefits of low-and-slow BBQ is the beautify smoke ring that you'll produce.  A smoke ring does little for the overall taste of the pork roast but it certainly looks impressive!

No need to trim the Pork Sirloin Tip Roast cause you can see from the photos they're naturally lean and void of any excess fat.  These roasts are not like Pork Butts at all and most recipes call for them to be roasted at 350ºF.  But I occasionally prefer to smoke one of these beauties and they turn out simply fabulous!!!

Rub the Pork Sirloin Tip Roast with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Plowboys BBQ Bovine Bold.  Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the MAK 2 Star Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 250ºF with Pacific Pellet Gourmet Apple wood BBQ pellets.  Smoke the seasoned Pork Sirloin Tip Roast for approximately 3 hours until the Internal Temperature reaches 145º-150ºF.  Rest the roast loosely under a foil tent for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
