snap said:Thinking about throwing a big pork tenderloin on the smoker this afternoon. I did one a year or two ago but left it on way too long and dried the shit out of it. I plan on paying better attention to it this time and pulling it off around 140 internal temp. The cupboard is a little bare right now so I think I'll just coat it with mustard and rub and throw that SOB on some apple wood at 225 or so. I planned on just grilling it but I'm almost out of charcoal and the road to town is an icy bitch right now. I was sliding around last night coming home and that was with chains on. Glad I picked up a case of PBR last night cause I'm not going anywhere today if I don't have to. Anyone here ever smoked a pork tenderloin?
I have done lots of full loins.
1. Season liberally with your favorite q rub
2. Slather with a good whole grain mustard
3. Pack a thin layer of dark brown sugar on the loin (mustard should help hold it on)
4. Use a spray bottle to mist brown sugar with your favorite bourbon
5. Wrap the whole loin with strips of bacon
6. Smoke to your desired degree of doneness (using the remote read thermometer you should own by now), while spritzing loin every 30 minutes or so with bourbon or mopping with a mixture of bourbon and your favorite q sauce.
