    I'm guessing the absence of replies is that I don't think there is such an animal as a bone in pork tenderloin. Maybe a roast, but a tenderloin is a small, boneless and lean piece of pork about 2" in diameter, maybe 12" long and tapered at the ends.

    h20egg is right, what you must have is a bone in loin. The bones being the loin (or baby back) ribs. So you must have a 5 or 6 bone roast, which is equivalent to a standing rib (aka prime rib) roast on a beef.

    Cooking it to an internal of 145° is a popular finish temp. You can go indirect or raised direct over a small bed of coals. Popular cook temps of 257° to 350° are often used. I cooked these boneless loin roasts ones at 275° with a riased set-up and they took 2-1/2 hours. I would stick a cable therm in them so you don't overcook them.
