    I'm getting ready to do 8 pork tenderloins. I think I'm going to go direct on a raised grid at about 375/400. I will cook to an internal of 145/150. I think it will take about 1/2 hour or so. It's very important that you don't overcook. Good luck, Tom PorkTenderloincook1.jpg Porktenderloincook2.jpg

    Pork tenderloins are usually much smaller than 2.5 lbs. Are you sure you don't have a small pork loin? It would probably be good to roast it indirect at about 350 until the internal temp is about 137 or so. Some like it a little more done. It might take about an hour.

    BajaTom,[p]Wow - I usually take them off before 135. My wife would kill me if I let them go that long.
