Prep the Pork Tenderloin – Remove the pork tenderloin from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better.

Rub it Down – Lightly coat the pork tenderloin with olive oil. Then, generously apply the sweet and spicy rub all over the meat. We recommend Kosmos Honey Chipotle Killer Bee.

Wrap in Bacon – Lay out the bacon slices on a cutting board, slightly overlapping each piece. Place the tenderloin on top and wrap the bacon around it. Secure with toothpicks or butcher’s twine.

Preheat Your Pellet Grill – Set your pellet grill to 275°F. A pellet grill (like this Traeger Pellet Grill or Pit Boss Pellet Grill) infuses the meat with delicious smoky flavor.

Smoke the Tenderloin – Place the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin on the grill grates. Close the lid and let it smoke for about 90 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Sear for Crispy Bacon – If the bacon isn’t crispy enough, you can crank up the heat to 400°F for the last few minutes, or use a cast iron skillet for a quick sear.

Rest, Slice, and Serve – Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a more flavorful bite.
