Smoking Tips Types of wood to use for smoke: • Always use a hardwood that has been seasoned for at least 6 months. • We recommend using Pecan, Hickory , White Oak, Apple, Alder or Mesquite. • Never use any resin woods like Pine or Cedar. Note: It is not necessary to soak the wood prior to smoking because hard woods have natural moisture in the wood that will release in the smoker as it heats up.

Smoking Techniques Smoked Pork Tenderloin Take outside wrapper off of meat and wash thoroughly in cold water. Place tenderloin on a paper towel to soak up excess water. Rub your favorite pork rub on the loin (we recommend Head Country Pork seasoning). Preheat smokers to 225 degrees and place loin in the center of the smoker.
