I may try this approach. I did my first pork loin about a week ago. Now, I am new to this smoker business, so it was all learning curve. A buddy told me there's a very narrow slot of "done" before it's overdone. I don't have a temp probe, so it is guesswork. We finished this one in the oven and it was a tad overcooked. Dang. Still, was very tasty and made for great leftovers. One other thing I learned: spices and flavorings can compete with the smoke flavor. I think I'll try with less seasoning next time.The wife gets pork tenderloins pretty regular. Smoking them seems to be the best method I have found for cooking them. I keep the rub very simple, smoke them for about an hour on each side uncovered, then pull them, wrap them in foil and back on the smoker for about another two to three hours based on their size.
The rub I use is simple.
Salt.
Course ground black pepper.
Garlic powder.
Cayenne powder.
Brown sugar.
Smoke them with pecan and oak at about 200 to 225 degrees.

Too bad it's not a bottle opener too.An instant read thermometer is a necessity too.
I have this one and have been happy with it. There are plenty of cheaper ones out there too.
