    Ok Gang,
    As promised, here's the recipe. I got inspired to make this while talking with Car Wash Mike via Email about his apple sausage. Even though this apple sausage recipe very different from his(made from scratch), it really adds a lot of moisture and flavor to the finished product. Enjoy!

    Big'un's Triple Threat
    (Bacon wrapped pork loin stuffed with apple sausage)

    1 pork loin
    1 lb of bacon for every half loin(typically)
    cooking twine(no not wine, although...)
    1 roll of Jimmy Dean Sausage
    3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
    ¼ cup of white wine (I like chablis)
    1 small onion
    1 large apple cored and diced
    2 tbls of your favorite rub + extra for seasoning

    ( at this point, add anything else you like to the sausage mix, kalamada olives,crushed red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, diced mushrooms, spices, etc. Anything that adds moisture or flavor will work, make it your own!)

    Prep.Take out loin and typically they are already cut into two pieces. Each piece is considered by me to be one loin. Cut away any fat or silver skin. The toughest part of this cook is the prep. I use a tool I made to cut a hole in the loin for stuffing, the same effect could be used by merely slicing 2/3rds into the loin to allow for the sausage stuffing. After prepping the loin return it to the refrigerator.
    Mix the last six ingredients(and any extras) in a bowl. Stuff the loin w/sausage and return to refrigerator. Get out the bacon and separate it. You'll see later that this expedites the wrapping process. Cut the twine in large enough pieces to tie the loin. Lay them out on your prep board, spacing them about two inches apart. Sprinkle the rub on the outside of loin and lay it on the front third of the twine. Start to wrap the bacon length wise. After you have wrapped all you can, use the twine to help rotate the loin leaving the bacon intact. Cover the rest of the loin and tie snuggly.
    Cook at 325F dome, indirect, platesetter legs up, drip pan underneath grate, pull at 140F internal, tent with foil and let rest. Enjoy! Juicy and a great presentation .

    this what you were looking for. can do direct at 325° or indirect [sitting on a grid over a steam tray] at 350° shown is a small loin i usually do direct and turn as needed it does not take long to cook so check regulary with the thermopen starting about 30 minutes. i just watch and turn it and poke it till done. 140 internal hope htis is what you were looking for .

    bill - if you're still on, you said that you cooked for 30 min, then kept checking temp. any idea how long for a tenderloin that is 1 1/4 lb?
