Smoked Pork Loin tenderloin

[glinse]

Does anyone have a smoking recipe for a 2.5 pound Pork Loin Tenderloin or do you use this primarily for pulled pork??

I don't have one of those handy, but you can save time if you clarify whether that is a 2.5 pound Pork tenderloin, or a 2.5 pound piece of a 10 pound Pork Loin. They're both made a little differently, and neither of them are for Pulled Pork.

Come to think of it, if it's a piece of Pork Loin, I do have a Stuffed Pork Loin. I'll see if I can find it.

Here it is:

All I can tell you is that it is what it said on the package.  "Pork Loin Tenderloin"

It it is a true pork tenderloin it will be about 10-12" long and maybe 3-4" in diameter.

It is one of my favorite pork cuts. I smoke several every year. It has become our traditional Christmas meat dish as the spousal unit does not like to cook turkey and will not eat turkey leftovers if I cook the bird.

I use the SPOG approach after rubbing on a thin coat of EVOO. This is inherently a tender piece of meat so low and slow isn't as critical as for a pork butt or brisket, but it don't hurt either. At Christmas, I usually smoke 4 of them.

OK---Then someone else will have to help you, because I don't have a Step by Step on a Pork Tenderloin.

Or you can type it in the search box above.

This forum has the best Searching ability I have ever seen!!!

The only thing I have to say is don't overcook it.

I use my regular pork rub & smoke it until the IT is 140.

Let it rest on the counter for 15-20 minutes & the carryover cooking will bring it up to 145.

That is the USDA safe temp for pork. Then just slice it up.

If you are worried that it is a little pink inside you can smoke it to 150 & it still will be juicy.

SmokinAl,
I haven't been on here in quite some time. I need some additional advice (cause I forgot to write it down last time I smoked it). How long should I expect a 4 pound pork tenderloins to take until its done if i am smoking it at 235-250 degrees? any ideas?

My guess would be about 2 hours.
