I decided to try my hand at a pair of smoked pork tenderloins yesterday, for the Fourth of July. Being so lean, I was worried they would be dry so I gave them a marinade overnight with apple juice & grape juice the night before. Yesterday I got my rub on, got the smoker to 250 & used apple wood. Took about an hour & a half to hit 145. They were quite excellent! Very juicy & full of great, smokey flavor.

The loins look magnificent. I've never cooked an actual tenderloin before. I do that larger loins and enjoy them. I need to get one of these tenderloins to see how much better they are. I'd be there in a heartbeat to try a slice or two of that. Excellent job.

Thanks guys, I was always too intimidated by their lean-ness to try one before. I thought they would be too dry, but I was so happy to add another pork bullet to the arsenal!
 
Beautiful job on those tenderloins. We like to rotate them in every so often.

Point for sure.
