Serves 6 to 8

INGREDIENTS

Marinade
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Pork Loin
• 1 (3-pound) boneless pork loin

Stuffing
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, finely minced
• Handful of chives, minced
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups crumbled corn bread
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons to 1/3 cup chicken stock

DIRECTIONS

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Place the meat in a large bowl, cover with the marinade, cover the bowl, and let the pork rest in the refrigerator overnight.

To make the stuffing, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat and add the onion Saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chives, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix in the corn bread, egg, and enough chicken stock to make the stuffing easy to spread. Stuff the meat with the stuffing.

Prepare your smoker to cook at 230° to 250°F and smoke until the internal temperature registers 155°F on a meat thermometer, 1 to 1½ hours. Remove the meat from the smoker, loosely tent it with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest for 15 to 25 minutes before carving and serving.
