how long (minutes per pound)should I smoke a beef tenderloin and at what temp?
jminion said:As Phil says a higher temp cook, tenderloin beef or pork doesn't have the connective tissue so long and slow cooks are not callled for.

Someone will correct me, since I dont do alot of beef tenderloin (I do pork) but I would start with a probe in there from the beginning, smoke at 210 to 230 (no higher) until around 155 internal (probably 2 hours or less) and then wrap in foil and in the cooler (if you want "well" since it will rise nearly 10 degrees)
If you want medium, dont foil, let rest for 15minutes and slice
Again, others will know my, and welcome Mr. Dawg

EEEEKKkkkkk....
Taking a beef tenderloin to 'well' done?? Oh man...that is just a waste of good (and usually expensive) meat. Medium is the highest you should ever eat beef tenderloin...otherwise, it will be dry and in the tennis shoe category for texture.
I prefer my steaks med-rare.....but, med. is ok....just don't cook above that...
