I as well am a proud new owner of a Bradley smoker (not even out of the box yet) and have plans for several pork shoulders (pulled pork) and turkey breast for next weekend.  I also have a beef tenderloin in my fridge and am anxious to try out the smoker tonite, but I have conflicting opinions on whether to smoke it or not...all input for this smoker virgin is welcome

I would season that smoker, and put that tenderloin in for an hour or two of smoke @225, then finish on the grill to your desired IT.

Just read up on stuff here and you'll be good. My first smoke was a couple pork butts and they turned out amazing. I posted my gameplan here after reading up on how to do them. This place is a great resource, especially being a novice. I have a feeling once I get a better idea of what I'm doing then I'll probably start experimenting more.

bgregs, welcome to the forum!

Now about that tenderloin...
If God didn't want you to smoke it..
Then why do you figure he saw fit for you to have a tenderloin and a smoker?

See, if he wanted you to smoke a squirrel... 
He'd have seen to it that you had a squirrel and a smoker, right?

Roll with it  ;D

A few minutes with the pellet gun and I could have both of those things... However I don't think God gave me the will to want to go do that. Guess that proves your point.
