    Nice!  I haven’t tried jerk seasoning with pork, but I think I need to correct that...

    Looks Great! I agree with JIC. Never crossed my mind to try jerk on pork, but now I think a jerk tenderloin sounds incredible

    Great looking cook!

    You guys absolutely need to try jerk pork. I've used Walkerswood without pimento wood a couple of times. Delicious!! One of these days, maybe I'll spring for some pimento. Anyway, give it a try.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Great looking cook.  Who is your supplier for the pimento wood?

    I don't know where @dstearn got his. The only seller I know of is http://www.pimentowood.com. I assume there are other vendors.

    EDIT: I have no experience with these guys, I just know of them.

    I like to cut pork tenderloin into hunks, marinate in the Walkerswood, then grill them on skewers.  Lots of flavor.

    For those of you who do not have access to pimento wood and do not want to buy it, you can use a combination of hickory chunks, allspice berries and bay leaves and get a very similar result. Is is exact? No. Is it very very similar? Absolutely. The average Joe probably couldn’t tell the difference. 
    On a separate note, great looking grub @dstearn 👍

    Thanks, I have been ordering Jerk products from Pimentowood.com for several years.
    They only have the chips in stock not the chunks but a little goes a long way. I just soak a handful of chips and place in a foil packet prior to adding the protein.
    Just ordered a new order of chips and table sauce last Sunday and they are on the way via Fed Ex. They are based out of MN and their service is great.

    That looks outstanding.  Jerk pork is a huge thing in Jamaica.  And don't worry if you don't have pimento wood, its not major that you do.  If you could see how it is made, all of the details Americans are trying to get just right are not even considerations by most people making jerk in jamdown.
