    I do my tenderloins Direct on the normal grid @ 300F dome temp. I coat the tenderloins with olive oil or Italian Salad dressing then apply a rub. Let cook for about 32 min’s turning half way through the cook until you get the internal temp of 145F.

    Let rest in tinfoil for 5 min’s
    I use hickory smoke

    I smoked 4 1.5-2.0 lbs. pork tenderloins on Sunday at 350-375 for about 1Hr. with indirect heat (feet up platesetter) until internal temp. of 155. Used Apple chips and rub...turned out great. You can see my brand new gasket in place also :)PorkLoin.jpg

    Just a personal pref, but I think a straight smoked tenderloin is kinda blah. The problem with smoking it is that you won't end up with any caramelization and crust on the surface before the inside is done. Grilling makes a much more flavorful meal. You can defintely add smoke to your grilling session though, but I would definitely stick with direct cooking at a min of 300.

    Just some more idears ferya! Have a blast with your spirementations.

    Happy cookin. Chris
