Preheat. Preheat smoker to 275 degrees F. Apple, cherry, maple, alder, or pecan woods all work great for this recipe.
Season. Season the pork loin well on all sides with the Sweet Rub.
Wrap in bacon. Arrange bacon, piece by piece, across the surface of the pork loin. Secure with toothpicks, if necessary.
Smoke. Transfer pork loin to the smoker grates, close the lid, and smoke for 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees F.
Add sauce. (Optional step for soft bacon). When the pork loin reaches 130 degrees F, baste liberally with my Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce.
Broil. (Optional step for crispy bacon). Remove your fully smoked pork loin to a baking sheet and broil in your oven for 2-3 minutes.
Rest, slice, and serve. Rest your finished pork loin for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
