Ingredients

Meat

2 pound pork tenderloin

Seasonings

1.5 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

Pre-heat smoker to 225°F using hickory or apple wood
Combine the dry ingredients (minus the olive oil) in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Rub pork tenderloin with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning evenly on all sides of the roast.
Place the pork tenderloin directly on the smoker rack away from direct heat.
Smoke for 1.5 hours at 225°F until an internal temperature of 145°F.
Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing into ½" pieces. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!

Notes

Spritzing with apple cider vinegar will increase the smoke flavor and keep the pork moist
Make sure to pull the tenderloin off the smoker at an internal temperature of 145°F to prevent over cooking.
Using a fruit wood such as apple compliments the pork best.
Don't go thin, slice at least ½" thick when serving for the best look and mouth feel when eating.
