Need Help on 20 PORK TENDERLOINS

Unknown

I offered to cook 20 pork tenderloins for my neighbor on the magnificent egg. Anyone have any suggestions?? My thought process is to cook them on the egg with different rubs for awhile to get the smoke flavor going and then finish them in the oven. [p]Thanks in Advance,[p]Bullet Bob

Bullet Bob, I don't see any reason why you can't finish them in the egg, and feel sure they would be better. Were you thinking about wrapping in foil before putting in oven?

Bullet Bob,[p]What size Egg do you have? If you have a Large, I imagine you could probably do 10+ at a time if you used a grid extender and cooked on two levels, but the timing might be tricky - you might have to rotate the ones on top to the bottom and vice versa. [p]I'm not sure what your time constraints are, but I would forego the multi-level cook and just do as many as you can at a time direct, 15 minutes a side at 350, or until you get an internal of 140 or so. I say that just b/c in the multil level cook you'd be cooking half of them indirect and the other half direct - well, I guess if you did a multi-level cook you'd need to use a platesetter and cook all of them indirect so that your timing will be similar for the ones on top and bottom. (I'm just thinking outloud here.)[p]If you just did them in shifts on one level direct, maybe you could wrap them in foil or at least loosely cover them as you take them off and cook the next round. If you did that, you may want to pull them off at a lower internal temp b/c they'll rise in temp as they're sitting under the foil. Better yet would be to serve them as you take them off, if that would work. That's what I had to do a few weekends ago when I cooked about 15 burgers on my Medium.[p]I would use different Dizzy Pig rubs, and maybe even marinate a few of the tenderloins - Raspberry Chipotle sauce makes a great marinade for pork tenderloins.[p]Anyway, let me know how it goes - I will be doing something very similar next weekend on my Medium - I'll be doing pork tenderloins for about 15 people - and I've started asking myself the same questions.[p]Maybe someone has cooked a load of these at one time before and can give you some better advice.[p]Good luck,[p]TRex

Chet & TRex,[p]I have a large BGE. I need them ready at 6:00 pm Friday so I figured I could start in the afternoon and get them all almost done. Then put them in 2 different ovens to finish. I am just worried about them drying out. Using the platesetter might be a good idea to cook them all more evenly. I am not sure how long it would take if I cooked 10 at a time so I thought I could start early, get them all to a temp of maybe 130 or so. then put all in an oven.[p]Any help greatly appreciated.[p]Bullet Bob

Bullet Bob,
No need to go indirect... PT is a very lean meat and works just fine using the direct method. [p]I'd suggest starting about 45 mins before chow time and grill in two shifts. With the first batch, grill to just below your optimum temp, then wrap in foil for 30 or so minutes (or... if you like, place in the oven at a VERY low temp) ... with the second batch, grill right up to optimum temp (less than 10 degress) and wrap in foil for ten minutes or so. [p]I did this several weeks ago and got rave reviews (if I do say so myself).

TRex,[p]Is there a recipe for the Rasberry Chipotle sauce or is it a store bought marinade?[p]Luder

<p />Luder,[p]I buy the stuff at our local grocery store - it's made in the Texas Hill Country by New Cannan Farms. They make a lot of really good sauces and jellies.[p]TRex

Bullet Bob,
What time did you get to the game? They opened up the gates at 8:30 (a little customer service since the season looks dim)?[p]I walked over about 10 and didn't see anything I might recognize so I left.[p]Egging was going on at 10:30 so I kinda needed to pay attention to that.[p]CWM

One of the King's Men,[p]Did You sear them all first, or just stabilize the temp and let em' go.[p]Thanks,[p]BB[p]
