    Never tried the low and slow then sear. What temp did you use to smoke them?

    @Smokeydawg - L&S and sear is the refined description of reverse sear.  It just pairs better with the follow-on wine selection.  =)
    BTW- I'm just messing with @YukonRon as he can crank out tenderloins and definitely scores the wine with every banquet.  He even remodeled his house to accommodate a more healthy wine cellar.  It will all come together down the road.  ;)
    Edit:  Just saw the money shot...Wow! Nailed it! Off the charts.  Congrats.  What was the finish temp?
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I was shooting for a 250F, actual was 247F. I smoked these with pecan. A very nice soft smoke flavor to go with a spiced rub. Highly recommended.

    Now that you put the ruler in play we are all aware of the huge wine glass. It dwarfs the monster tenderloin steak! I approve.

    I like doing tenderloins, and really spicing them up. I used a lot of rub, and garlic. The garlic glazed/carmelized and sealed in the juices. As soon as I hit 325F dome, is when I pulled and tented to 525F, meaning I jacked the MM when I got  to 120F,

    It looks outstanding. The reason I asked was that one pic looks like it has jaccard slits. I had heard Costco did that. I was wondering if they are doing that on fresh custom cuts as well. Anyway, stellar cook as always sir.

    My Beautiful Wife and I, consume some vino, upon occasion. Our friends love to take pictures of our kitchen cabinet that stores our drinking glasses. 95% are  fishbowsl on a stem. And a few water glasses.

    Before my whiskey drinking problem, I led a life of pretty aggressive wine consumption as well. I truly appreciate the glass. I have a couple ridiculous ones as well that literally hold the whole bottle I think. Enjoy!
