Use a Ziploc bag to combine the marinade and pork tenderloin, ensuring it's well-coated.

Refrigerate the marinating pork for 12 to 24 hours, rotating every 4 hours.

After marinating, drain the pork and pat it dry with paper towels.

Place the pork on a cooling rack and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to form a pellicle.

Smoke the pork at 225°F for about 2 hours, checking for an internal temperature of 145°F before removing it from the smoker.

Let the pork cool before slicing it.
