Notes

  • If you are not using pre-marinated pork you will need to allow for two hours for the meat to marinate in the fridge. 
  • There are usually two tenderloins in each package. You will be cooking both of them. 
  • You can double or triple this recipe as long as your smoker has room for additional tenderloins. 
  • Serve the pork as is or brush with BBQ sauce or reserved marinade that didn't touch the raw meat.
