How do you suggest cooking? Direct or indirect? What temperature? Any particular seasoning you like? Thanks for the replies!

Pretty forgiving cut. You can do it at 400* or less to 140* or 150*. Sweetish spices work or mustard based sauces

Trader Joes has a teryaki marinade that is excellent on the Tenderloin.XL Walled Lake, MI

Pork tenderloin was the first thing I cooked on my BGE. I did a coffee and cayenne rub then threw it on the egg, direct at 350. Took about 40-50 minutes. Best pork tenderloin I've ever cooked.Lucky to have a LG Egg My Blog: http://manvsgrill.blogspot.com/

I just did one last night. I made it really simple - Olive Oil, salt/pepper/rosemary/garlic rubbed all over, threw it on at 400 and had it cook to 145 - a little less than 20 minutes with mine. It was a little more done than I'd like but it was still great. I liked the crust the temperature and seasoning gave it.

Equal parts soy and lemon juice. 1/2 part EVOO. White pepper and Cavendars Greek Seasoning. Fresh rosemary. Let marinate at least 4 hours. Grill 400-425 direct slight raised grid.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html

If you have spent any time in Iowa, or central Illinois, you might save the egg for a different cut. Pork tendeloin pounded thin, breaded and deep fried, makes for a fine sandwich, over a bed of lettuce with mustard or mayo.

Turn the tenderloin into medallions, slices 3/4 - 1" thick. Marinate. Cheap Italian dressing works well. Likewise teriyaki. Grill direct and hot, till 140F-ish, maybe 5 minutes per side.
Slice lengthwise. Pack in a nice filling. Pesto. Chopped pepperoncini and sun-dried tomatoes. Etc. Wrap with bacon, and toothpick shut. 350 indirect till bacon is well cooked, or direct, turning as needed to keep the bacon from burning.
