    Marine Cook,
    here are some, coated with ken stone's witchy red rub, and grilled direct on the small at 350 dome temp for about 35 - 40 minutes till done. . .turn em often so they don't burn. . .any dizzy rub would work well also. . .fast and easy and delicious. . .[p]DSCN0329.jpg

    Marine Cook,
    this is embarrasing but i don't remember exactly what temp i pulled them. . .i think it was around 135 internal (just a tad pink in the middle, still juicy). .. and i think your dizzy choices sound great. . .btw, if you haven't tried them yet, you should email ken stone (aka bluesmoke here on the forum). .. he makes some great rubs as well as sauces. . .will really round out your cupboard. . .

    mad max beyond eggdome,[p]I'm always looking for new rubs to try, I'll contact him. I'll check my tenderloins at that temp. I normaly pull my pork loins at 155 but I think I could pull them a few degrees cooler and they would be even better.[p]I've had to educate the wife and kids on the advantages to rarer meats and they are seeing the light.[p]Thanks for the help,[p]MC

    Pork tenderloins are a favorite around here. Any rub or spice works well (Dizzy Pig's are all good), but the main thing is not to overcook them, which is very easy to do because of their diameter. I pull them at 140 internal and let them sit for at least 15 minutes before carving. If you let them go to 150, that is already too much. Pull at 135 and you will still have a pink center.[p]I like a couple of chunks of pecan on the fire for flavor with pork.[p]Bob V
