About 10 miles from the blue turf!
Fred Meyer's had some small pork loin packages at buy 1 get one free so I thought I would try them out. Didn't realize there were two separate pieces in each package though. Got em prepped. First injected with a mix of apple juice, a small bit of vinegar and just a small amount of salt. Since there were 4 pieces though I decided to use some different rubs. The first I rubbed with salt pepper and garlic powder. The second got a treatment of honey hickory rub and the last two I hit with Bad Byron's Butt Rub.

Put on the smoker with some peach wood. For some reason took a pic of the bottom side.

Let em rest for about 25. Only cut into the SPG one as I am taking the 2 of the others to my parents for them to try and the other will probably be shared with my neighbor. But here is the one in any case. A shot of the finished product.

Thanks! It did come out pretty juicy. I was a bit worried as I had heard tenderloin can dry out easy. Glad I did the injection.

Nice job on those pork tenderloins. Looks delicious

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I have only made it once before that I can remember but always enjoy it. I will have to make it more often.
 
We love tenderloins too, as a matter of fact I just made some
Canadian bacon with 4 of them.
But yours sure look delicious!

Thanks Al! Making Canadian Bacon sounds pretty interesting. Is it difficult or do you need any special equipment?

Nothing special, except cure#1
This one I used Pop’s brine, and it was a loin, not a tenderloin.
