I want to try to smoke a couple pork loins this weekend and have no idea how to do it. I'm very new to this and would appreciate some guidance. I'm planning on mixing apple with hickory but I don't know if I should use a rub or glaze, what temp and how long. Any help?
 
Are you making the small 2" thick, 8" long, 1 pound each Tenderloins...Or...The 4-6" thick, Round, 2 foot long Pork Loins that are cut in to chops? Big difference and often confused.

The small Tenderloins will smoke in under 2 hours at 225*F, taken to 140*F.

 Pork Loins will take 30-45 minutes a pound at 225, smoke to an IT of 145*F and wrap and rest...Here is a Brine, Rub and Glaze you may like...JJ
