    Beef Tenderloin - smoke or grill?

    I'm going to prepare a beef tenderloin along with a spiral slice ham and cornish game hens. For the beef tenderloin, should I grill or smoke it? Either way, I want it to end up medium rare. My guess is smoking will take longer. I've never had smoked beef tenderloin. Which tastes better?

    I came across a custom smoker maker, Klose Pits, in Houston. He has a model that is similar to this one. Perhaps mine was an earlier model.

    Myself, a buddy and his teenage son moved it. We went over the gravel side yard and then hauled it up onto the patio.

    Moving a smoker to the patio

    LOL. Hard to get the vehicles in and out of the garage with the smoker in the way.
