I picked a couple of Pork Tenderloins (not loins) at Costco over the weekend. I'm not sure what to do with them. I've never cooked them before any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
BT, Smoked as is with a nice rub is a nice simple way or butterfly the tenderloins and pound out and then stuff with goodies ,roll,tie and smoke!

I like to put on a sweet rub, same as I do for pork butt, and put two together (pointing opposite directions so that together it is approximately the same diameter all the way across). Then I cut it into medallions about an inch or so thick. Wrap each medallion with a piece of bacon and use a skewer to hold each piece in place. Into the smoker at 225 until you get an IT of about 120. Now I move them onto the grill, placing them on their sides to crisp up the bacon, rolling to get all sides. The end goal is to get the pork loin to an IT of 140-145, so after the bacon is crisp if I’m not at my target temp, I brush some sauce on each face and cook it on til it’s sticky.
 
Smoked these several months ago. 4 of them in 4 different rubs. Jerk won the favorite.

Just don’t over do them. Take it to about 145 and let them rest. Great meal that doesn’t take too long!

I like to smoke them to 140* with a nice garlic-n-herb rub. To serve, cut them into medallions and pour a nice apple cider reduction over the top.
