Smoked Pork Tenderloins

Pork tenderloin, like chicken is extremely lean, low in carbohydrates, and very reasonably priced compared to other cuts of meat. I normally get all my proteins at Costco. Their pork tenderloin comes packaged with two pouches and each pouch contains 2 tenderloins. The pouches are vacuum sealed which makes it easy to freeze one or both pouches until ready to be used.

Trimmed excess fat and silver skin from two pork tenderloins. Rubbed all sides of tenderloins with garlic extra virgin olive oil and Plowboy's BBQ Bovine Bold rub. Wrap the tenderloins in plastic and refrigerate for 5 hours or overnight.

Preheated my wood pellet smoker-grill (MAK 2 Star General) to 225ºF using apple pellets. I use a frogmat to prevent the tenderloins from sticking to the grill grates. Apple smoked the pork tenderloins at 225ºF for about 2 hours until the internal temperature of the tenderloins at the thickest part reaches 145ºF.
