One of the biggest challenges faced by first-time meat smokers is understanding how to smoke a pork tenderloin without drying it out.  Applying a dry rub (as we do in our recipe) helps to lock in moisture while creating a delicious, flavorful crust. It’s a great step toward guaranteeing tender smoked pork tenderloin! Additionally, smoking pork tenderloin at a low temperature will prevent it from drying out while soaking in the smoky aroma.
