Hi new to this site  but must say looks great. I just got into cooking with a smoker .. have cooked for years and Im not bad, but cooking in a smoker is all new to me.. So hope I can get some tips, just got a new Brinkmen upright smoker 19 3/4 .

I did some mods and thay seem to be great get good heat and smoke. I would like to know if I can cook a Beef loin in this I have grilled them in the past ,but would love to do one in my new smoker. If someone knows a great way to cook one would be great.

Thanks.

Welcome to SMF! Yes you can smoke a beef loin. Type beef loin in the search box & a bunch of threads will come up. Good luck & let us know how it turns out, with Q-view of course.

Hello Johnny, and welcome to the SMF. Keep reading the different forums, it'll help you with the learning curve. It's all good my friend.
 
Welcome johnny 66.

 IMHO a beef loin will benifit much more from a hot quick fire than from a low and slow smoke.

The tougher , fattier cuts of beef work better on a  low an slow smoke ,where the lean cuts can dry out on you pdq.

 Once you get this smoking thing down a bit  ( learn the 40°-140° rule)  you may try taking a cold tenderloin and slicing it in medallions and hit it w/ cold smoke for a few hours and then straight to a hot skillet  for a quick sear to a nice med rare.

serve w/  a  peppercorn sauce over some garlic mashed potatoes.

 But i dont know nothing about cooking so that's just my humble opinion.  LOL

Welcome to the SMF....you'll learn a lot here, I know I have. Used to use a ECB with decent results....just watch how hot it runs on you till you tame it. Now, I know smoking tenderloins runs contrary to most of the conventional wisdom but it can be done with good results. I've recently done one and it was delish....here's the link to the post.
