tender loins
Meat Mopper
Next time, after cutting them & deseeding/deribbing, microwave them for a few minutes covered in water. It will partially cook them & soften them a little too. Drain the water & repeat if necessary. This will also cut down on time needed in the smoker too. The best way is to nuke/drain the night before, then recover with water & refrigerate until the next day's time to use them.
Hope this helps.
