Preheat your smoker to 225°F.

Hot Tip
If you prefer to tame the smoked flavor, wrap your pork tenderloin in butcher paper roughly 90 minutes into the cook. This will prevent your pork tenderloin from absorbing additional smoke.

Remove from smoker and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
Hot Tip
Cook your pork tenderloin thoroughly to an internal temp of 165°F for smooth, even slices.
