Step 1 Of 8

1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F.

2. Combine brown sugar, paprika, salt, onion powder, black pepper and mustard powder in a bowl and mix with your fingers to break up any lumps. Generously apply the rub to all sides of the pork tenderloin.

3. Place the tenderloin in your smoker with 2 to 3 wood chunks on top of the hot coals. Cook until the deepest section of the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 110°F, or about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Hot TipUse an instant read thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the pork.

4. While the pork is cooking, combine all barbecue sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Once the tenderloin has reached its targeted temperature, brush it with barbecue sauce.

6. Preheat your grill for direct grilling at 500°F.

7. Transfer the pork tenderloin to the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 155°F, about 2 minutes per side.

8. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
