Equipment

Ingredients

  • Two 1-pound whole pork tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Dry Spice Rub

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted Garlic and Peppers seasoning a Club House seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

Instructions

  • If desired, apply your favorite BBQ sauce 10-15 minutes before they are done.
  • When the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, remove the pork tenderloins from the smoker. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

Homemade Pork and Chicken Rub and Homemade Pork Rub.
  • Store any leftover rub in an airtight container.
  • Let the tenderloin come up to room temperature for 30 minutes before smoking.
  • Cook with the thermometer, not the clock. All grills cook differently, and many variables, such as weather and different types of grills, affect the cooking time.
  • Store leftover smoked pork tenderloin in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to two months.
