Ingredients:

• 1 whole pork loin (4–5 lbs)
• 2 tbsp bacon fat
• 2–3 tbsp honey
• 3–4 tbsp Knotty Rub
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of ½ a fresh lemon
• ¼ cup white onion, chopped finely
• Green onion for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat a cast iron skillet or your pellet grill to high heat-450-500 F.
2. Coat the pork loin with bacon fat or olive oil.
3. Sear all sides until golden-brown and crusty (about 2–3 minutes per side).
4. Pull it off the heat.
5. While still hot, drizzle honey all over the loin.
6. Coat generously with Knotty Rub — the honey will help it stick and form a flavorful crust.
7. Set the loin in a double layer of foil to form a boat.
8. Add pineapple chunks, a little juice, smashed garlic, lemon juice, and sliced onion around the pork.
9. Wrap tightly to seal in moisture and flavor.
10. Preheat your pellet grill to 300°F using Knotty Wood Almond pellets.
11. Place the foil-wrapped pork loin on the grill and cook for about 25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temp of 140–145°F.
12. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
13. Slice and pour the sweet-savory juice from the foil over the top of the pork loin for extra flavor.
