Pork Loin

in Pork
Tried pork loin for the first time on the egg. I was in a time crunch so I was in a race to see just how fast I could get it done.
Simple salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Direct at about 650, 4 min per side rotating at 2 min. Shut the egg down to coast up to 137.
Pulled, rested 5 min, and sliced. 40 min from opening The egg to chowing down.
I may try either raised direct at around 400 vs indirect next time. It was a little hot and required a lot of movement to keep from burning, but it was really good. Very nice crust.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

That's a tender loin and if cooked through it looks like you had a hit on your hands. I have 10 pounds to cook for mothers dad and plan on 250 indirect to 120 IT then pulling the plate setter and going to 500 and searing it off. I love pork off the BGECharlotte, Michigan XL BGE

You could try glazing it next time, like this:"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Thry a 250* cook to 130* or so and then a hot sear.

That is a fast cook. My loins take a L-O-N-G time, but I am cooking them at 250.Louisville, GA - 2 Large BGE's

For pork tenderloin, try slathering it with mayonnaise and rolling it in a package of Lipton's dry Onion Soup mix.
Wonderful flavor!
