    What about seasoning? Last one I did was a bit plain. Got spinach, mushrooms, Feta cheese and some shredded italian cheese.

    Whatever you like. Sounds like you could put some  Italian seasoning in there or you could go Mediterranean.  Pick some stuff off this list that you think would go well with everything else. http://www.frontiercoop.com/learn/cuisines_mediterranean.php

    I mostly make sh*t up as I go.

    I have a few methods that I like. One uses cream cheese, bacon and jalapeños. The other uses shrimp, bacon and sausage.

    OK I suck at this. This is my second and last attempt. First I cant tie them worth a damn. Second both attempts have been meh... The cook part is good I think. Get some smoke and its tender and not dry but the lack of flavor it where it disappoints. Internals were Riccota, Mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers, halved grape tomatoes, some shreded Italian cheese and some seasoning. Wife did Pineapple Head on hers and I used Bad Byrons on mine. Again its not bad its just plain :-??

  • Do you like pork loin in general? Maybe it's not your thing?

    Think this may be it. Doesn't do much for me but when stuffed figured it should. Love pork ribs, ham, chops, bacon.

    Besides the two I mentioned above, I did a test for the get together at Thatgrimguys today. I stuffed one with shrimp and blood sausage. It was phenominal.

    Do you marinade or something, to me lacks flavor? Needs heavy seasoning or some ingredients to stuff that pop :-??

    For all my stuffed tenderloins, I simply rub with salt, pepper and a hefty dose of cayenne. Once I splay the tenderloin, I coat the inside with the rub as well before I stuff them. Here is 2 I did today.

    I assumed you guys were talking about pork loins, not tenderloins, but I see I was mistaken. You actually stuff the tenderloins? That looks like a tight fit. Looks good. I'm too lazy for all that knife work.

    I actually stuff both loins & tenderloins. I much prefer the tenderloins though. The knife work is actually the easy part.

    Yours sure looks good @Dobie, I hear you, my first couple were a little bland, then I increased the amount of stuffing, added rub, pesto sauces, tried all kinds of stuff, use goat cheeses and stuff with some tang. On another post someone stuffed with apples and pears and sweet stuff. I am still gonna try a couple more atempts, keep experimenting I say!

    @Dobie‌, was yours a tenderloin? If it was, try using a pork loin. Once filleted, season heavily prior to wrapping. I also season as I wrap. As far as tying, tie a square not on one end and then do a series of half hitches working towards the other side. YouTube also has some clips on tying.

    @Zmokin‌, I tie the ends tight to keep the cheese in. That is until it's cut.
