Ok, my experiment is for a 4.67lb pork loin. it is in the DM pork loin Marinade getting ready for tomorrow.

DM used 1.86 ounces of hickory.  but I was thinking of using apple. I tend to use a tad more wood than he does (he uses 2- .2.5 ounces of wood on ribs. I use 3 - 3.4 ounces. 

As apple is a lighter wood, do you think I should go 4-5  ounces? or do loins take  smoke faster than babybacks?

Both look great!  I brine almost everything now days.  It does make a difference.  Have a brined turkey in now!
