Pork Tenderloin Dilemma Help Needed

I haven't done a pork tenderloin yet on the BGE. Not sure if I should try to slow smoke it at a 250 dome or cook it at 350 dome. Any ideas?
BGE is heated and ready.

Generally, cooking low and slow is best with fatty meats containing a lot of colligen. Tenderloin doesn't fit those requirements. I would cook it direct at 350 dome until internal temp of 135 to 140 and pull.

Thanks. That's good info. I have so much to learn!

I cooked one last weekend. I direct cooked it at 350 degrees dome temperature until it had an internal temperature of 145 degrees. It was perfect.

As above, hotter and quicker is better for a tenderloin. They also benefit from marinades with a bit of oil in it. Can be sliced into medallions, and marinaded. Will cook really quickly.

Direct at 350 dome and give it a quarter turn every 10 minutes. Pull at 145 internal and rest 10 minutes. -RP

You can goto the Cookbook Forum. Look for pork tenderloin with apricot sauce under recipes. That walks you through the marinade, cooking and saucing steps. Yum! -
heres how i like them, not much flavor in those little tenderloins but they soak up flavors pretty well in a marinade. i cook them hot
