Tonight I made some pork tenderloins, I covered them in mustard and coated with a rub called Bone Dust. Here it is:

Bone Dust Rub:

1/2 cup paprika

1/4 cup chili powder

3 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons ground coriander

2 tablespoons garlic powder

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 tablespoons dry hot mustard

1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

1 tablespoon ground basil

1 tablespoon ground thyme

1 tablespoon ground cumin 

1 tablespoon cayenne

Recipe from: http://www.food.com/recipe/bone-dust-bbq-rub-50639?oc=linkback

Take a look:


I covered them in mustard and coated with Bone Dust rub.


After 1 hr smoke from cherry wood.


After 2 hrs of smoke.


Pulled at 150 and let rest, after 2 hrs and 15 minutes.


Looks like I've got some good sandwiches to eat . . .

The tenderloins came out nice and juicy with about 1/8" smoke ring too! I'd never used the Bone Dust rub recipe before tonight, but after sampling it on these tenderloin I'm glad that the recipe made plenty for the future. I'm looking forward to using this rub on pork ribs, and I think I'm going to use it on a rack of lamb soon as well. Thanks for looking!

Great looking smoke - those loins came out nice   
 
The tenderloins look amazing!  Gotta try that rub, it is close to one of mine, with a few additions that sound good.  Thanks for sharing and the Q-view.  Keep on keeping on.  Steve
 
i know they are loins but the one looks like a skined squirrel

dont ask me how i know what one looks like.

lets just say we have eaten some interesting things

but they look like yummy eats
 
thanks for sharing! I will bookmark this one.Did you wrap them or spray them with anything during the smoke?
No I didn't brine, baste, or cover them. The larger one was moist and juicy as it was the one I put a dial therm into and pulled at 150. The skinny one I just pulled at the same time knowing it would be more well-done, as some folks around here prefer. Even though it was more well-done it was still tender and juicy. I don't think the tenderloins needs much help being tender, and I think there is little benefit to slow cooking them too, just for the smoke flavor really. I was cooking at 230 and after 2 hrs my dial therm said the meat was 145, so for the last 15 minutes I opened the vents and got my kettle up to around 270F until the larger cut was right at 150.
