Pork Tenderloin

[frankerector]

I have an electric Masterbuilt.. I was wondering if would be good to smoke 2 petite pork tenderloins.. I love the smokey flavor and want to add it to the tenderloin..

Good idea?...Temp of smoker?....Temp of meat when done?

Personally I only do Loins on the smoker. Tenderloins on the grill. Tenderloins do not really benefit much from a smokers "low and slow". Be it either one, I shoot for around 145º internal, then wrap in foil and let it rest 30 to 45 minutes, cut and serve.

 Temp of smoker, since they do not take long I would go 200 to 225 to give you some added time for smoke.

Cool,....Thanks... I am also tossing some wings in so I guess I'll go 225...I'm using apple wood...

I did a Pork Butt last weekend and it was to die for...Now I will experiment with the wings and tenderloin...

I think I will start the pork first because I don't think it will take long..Then I will add the wings..When the pork is done I will bump up the heat on the wings to 275...

Good?

 That can work, but wings will not take long either. You can also move the wings to a hot grill to adequately crisp them up. I can't remember what you were using as a smoker, but always place the chicken below other meats (when using vertical smokers) you are cooking. Less bacterial risk that way.

Welcome! I too am a "newbie" and just got a MES and so far I really like it. I did elk tenderloin wrapped in bacon a couple weeks ago. Because of the short smoking time I crisped the bacon on my GF grill...SO said it was awesome! I smoked at 225 to an internal temp of 140 cause I knew I was going to pop it onto the grill afterwards.

First welcome to smf! Second those tenderloins will be fine in the smoker. Take them to about 140-145 & let them coast up to about 150. If you still feel they're to dry try wrapping it in bacon:)

Welcome aboard. Like Flash said, Tenderloins cook rather fast and don't have a lot of fat. You don't want to overcook these as you will ruin them. I always do tenderloins on the grill with indirect heat. I like to marinate them separately the night before and then I tie them together right before they go on the grill. I lay fat side against thin side so that when it is tied up you have a consistent size roast that will cook evenly. Let us know how they turn out and don't forget the pics.

Welcome. How did it turn out? I am going into a compitition in a couple weeks and I am torn between a butt or tenderloin for the pork side. Tenderloins can be so much less forgiving.
