Pork tenderloin

[Brady Smoker!]

I have some pork tenderloin i want to cook, any tips on temps IT texas crutch etc?

[beefmann]

smoke and  cook at 225  till an it of 150 then  pull, some pepper, granulated garlic . ground mustard and paprika usually  works well for  me

[KyNola]

They will not take long to smoke/cook.  My personal preference is an internal temp of 140 but that is simply a matter of personal taste.

As Beefmann stated, I would be looking at 225 to smoke/cook.  No need to foil them during the cooking.

Im with KyNola, I pull mine outta the smoker when the IT hits 140 F then rest between 2 thick plates or under a foil tent for 10-15 min.

The rest will have some carry over heat to finish off to about 145 F also the rest will allow the juices to be redistributed back into the meat and not lost on the cutting board.

The tender loin is a very lean hunk of meat so cook that baby hot N fast.

I like to smoke at 250 F and give them a glaze when the IT gets to about 130 F then cook to an IT of 140 F rest 15 min between 2 thick plates, the top one inverted.

Keep an eye on these as they cook fast,,,,2 maybe 3 hr tops

Have fun

I like mine a little more done I pull it at 150 then do the foil towel cooler deal for 1/2 to 1 hour I do put some apple juice in the foil first . Double foil get a extra chance of not leaking out

Is there any need to cure the tenderloin?

[KyNola]

Is there a need?  No there is no need.  However, I have cured them and then smoked and they are delicious.

They're delicious both ways.

There is a need for cure if you are smoking at lower temps. I want to say below 180F.
I'll google that and verify unless someone can verify or correct me :)

I went with a cure anyways even though i will be cooking at 225, i used the bradley maple cure, im going to put some fancy molasas on and rub with jans rub and cook to an IT of 140 followed by FTC to bring the juices back into the tenderloin then slice with a meat slicer, thanks for all your feed back guys i really appreciate it.

If you put cure on it today, when do you plan to smoke the tenderloins?

[Brady Smoker!]

Im going to cure them for 18 hrs theyre not very big there 2 and there 2.5 pounds total so 18 hrs should be okay,im going to start them around noon tomorrow and i put cure on them around 330 today, i should have waited at least 24 hrs but i got a rain day tomorrow so i had to cut the cure time a little short, i hope they still come out tasting great...they wont last long around my house anyways!

[KyNola]

They'll come out great!  Show a pic if you think of it.

Id love to post pics of all the smokes ive done so far bit im not sure how to post them off my iphone i dont have the tap talk app any tips on that

Photobucket has a mobile app that will work on your phone but I would use your computer open a photobucket account first(easier to do with your computer), then use the mobile app from your phone.  The photos will then appear in your photobook account.
