2019 Deer Season Back Straps

Options
Decided to cook some back straps on the XL. 
Cooked it just like you would a steak @ 400°+  and pulled at 120° internal. 
Used a small amount if Dale's Marinade and finish with Montreal seasoning. 
Cut a single back strap in half and bacon wrapped one.  Turned out great!   SUPER TENDER!!!!

    I was thinking about doing one with dizzy dust rub and a bacon weave.  And then cooking it like a pork loin.  Any better ideas?

    Thanks for the comments!   I forgot to add that I did use some BBQ sauce on the bacon wrapped one just to give it a glaze at the end of the cook. Both were excellent but you know everything is better with bacon!  :smiley:

    It sounds good!  Definitely worth a shot! 
    When I cook something new I always do a quick search on the web just to get some ideas.  Although most of the time I do add my own personal touch. Maybe a different seasoning or cooking temp... or something totally different!  
    Trial and error.   It's all part of the grilling experience!
