Fire up your smoker per manufacturer's instructions and set it to 250-F.
Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin by working your knife under it and cutting it away.
Rub the pork liberally with the pork rub.
Starting at one end of the pork tenderloin, begin wrapping it in bacon. Overlap the slices as you wrap, so they hold on.
Smoke the pork tenderloin at 250-F for about an hour or until it reads 140-F on a digital meat thermometer.
Take the pork off and crank the temperature to about 450-F and when hot, add the pork tenderloin for a few minutes to crisp up the bacon. Or, reverse-sear it in a skillet or on your Blackstone.
Rest the pork tenderloin for about 10 minutes before slicing, then enjoy!

Chef Jenn's Tips

Don't overcook the pork! The FDA says pork is safe to eat at 145-F. There will be a bit of carry-over cooking, especially if you reverse-sear the tenderloin.
You can hold the bacon in place with some toothpicks if it wants to unravel.
Always cook to temp, not time. The actual cooking time will vary from smoker to smoker.
