Canadian Bacon, how long to cure tenderloins?

[slo n easy]

I've got 4 tenderloins in the Buckboard cure right now and was planning for 7 days and then smoking with a hickory/apple mix. My question is, do I add smoke for the complete time in the smoker or just for a couple of hours and then just leave them in the smoker until done?

When I make canadian bacon I use the loins and not the tenderloins, I leave them in the cure for 4 days and works just fine. I think with the cost difference use the loins and save the tenderloins for smoking up.

Got tenderloins on my mind. So got a set and they are on the smoker as we speak. They smell so good and I just placed them on there less than a half hour ago
