FTC Pork Loin?

I am picking my wife up from the airport tomorrow night at 9:30 and I would like to surprise her with dinner at home. (She is a flight attendant and has not had a meal off of the egg yet.) My thought was to cook a pork tenderloin with a Dizzy Dust rub and be done with the cook at 8:30 and then FTC until we get home at about 10:15-10:30. Here is the question...will the tenderloin be ok if I FTC it for that long? I want her to have an excellent meal as it will be her first experience with the egg. Any advise is much appreciated as always.

Pork tenderloin on the egg is fantastic - probably my favorite thing yet.....unbelievably juicy. I'm sorry I don't have a rec on the FTC thing - haven't done it. Your idea sounds great. Something to consider as an alternative, or maybe for next time is this: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1148041/pork-tenderloin-with-black-berry-sauce-pics#latest I followed the rub and marinade instructions and it was a huge hit with the family and guests. Good luck!

I don't think pork tenderloin has enough mass to remain hot for that period of time, plus it is only cooked to 140 internal degrees to it's finish temperature. Sounds like a great meal, but the only thing that screws up a pork tenderloin is over cooking it, and that could happen?
-
Pork loin is a whole different thing to a tenderloin and as such requires a completely different approach?
-
Yeah, pork loin has a lot of mass, you like it MW, it should be fine. You can pre-heat your cooler with some boiling water to help it out, or throw in a couple of hot bricks.

So it looks like the FTC idea is out. Thank you guys for the advice before I messed up a good meal. Looks like swmbo will just have to wait. Lol.Persistence and determination are omnipotent!

2 hours, pork loin, you'll be fine with FTC. Charlie thought it was a tenderloin.

Gotcha. S the cook is back on. Wish me luck. I will let everyone know what swmbo thinks about the BGE.Persistence and determination are omnipotent!

She will love it!
Just don't let her hug it until it cools down.

If you have DP Red Eye Express, it works great on a pork loin. My wife loves grilled brown sugar covered pineapple rings with it.

In the heading you are calling "pork loin", but in your explanation you discuss "pork tenderloin" there is a big difference in size,cooking methods and ability to store prior to serving.

Yep, that's it. My response was about tenderloin. Haven't egged a loin yet but have heard good things.

Pork tenderloin is a very special meal- acceptable for "this" special occasion! Each time I have it, we always say "why don't we have this more often!". The only issue is over cooking it, and your question about keeping it warm for a few hours could be a problem..
