Preheat & Prep
Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C) with your choice of wood. Prepare pork tenderloin (whole, 1.25 lb) (1.25 lb whole pork tenderloin, silver skin removed, rubbed with brown sugar pork rub, applewood smoke).
2
Cook
Cook for 60–75 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.
3
Check & Rest
Dark mahogany crust, distinct pink smoke ring beneath exterior, internal probe reads 140°F pulling to 145°F. Confirm internal temperature reaches 140°F (pull) → 145°F (63°C) medium after 5-min rest. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Verification Basis & Testing Rig

Pro Tip: Do not oversmoke lean tenderloin past 145°F; resting brings it to a juicy, tender blush pink without drying out.
