Pork Tenderloin w/ Dale's Wrapped in Foil

dgroce10

My former boss used to smoke a pork tenderloin on an old school smoker. He'd marinade in Dale's Seasoning the night before, cover it with course ground pepper, then wrap it in foil. We would smoke it while we were doing chicken halves.

Has anyone had any luck with wrapping the tenderloin in foil on the BGE? I've done a few searches on the forum to no avail.

I have one in the freezer, and I'd love this to be my next cook because it was awesome when we did it a few years ago.

Any other recommendations for the tenderloin?? Temp settings? I'm hoping not to stuff it or grill it directly, and I plan to use Dale's.

Thanks for the suggestions - here's to hoping it warms up nationwide.

I don't think you need foil on the egg....just sayin'

Can you elaborate? Sorry...newbie.

I make them all the time, including tonight, have never foiled. Marinate, rub, and glaze/sauce, cook direct or indirext to IT of 140F. One of the best cooks!

THE DRU

If you foil the meat, you don't get the smoke flavor. Tenderloins are best when cooked direct to an internal temp. Of 140* or there a bouts. They are also small enough that a marinade can be very effective for as little as an hour. A pork loin is a bit more involved.

I have cooked 1 tenderloin to date. It was ok but thought it lacked flavor. I will try a marinade the next time. Did EVOO and Dizzy Dust with the last one.

Dales is super salty which is fine but I switched to Allegro. Let us know what you try.

Dales is a little strong for my liking. I usually coat in olive oil and then make an herb crust out of chopped rosemary, parsley, thyme, minced garlic. Cover it liberally. Raised direct until 140. Usually buy the 2 packs. Do the above with 1 them take the other and cut into 8 or so pork medallions and food saver. Take the remaining ends and pound out thin and make wiener schnitzel and food saver. Lots of things to do. Good luck

Brine and/or rub & glaze,direct to about 140 deg. as was said, foil hides the smoke. Each to his own but Dales is horribly salty.
