Pork tenderloins on the kettle

[JCAP]

I find myself loving pork tenderloin lately. So I’ve been making it a lot in various ways. Today was to try out my Weber kettle baskets. Originally I was going to slow cook them but then at my son’a cross country meet there was a large firepit with chickens going so I needed to play with some fire.

I filled one basket and removed about 10 coals. I lit the coals and then dumped them back into the corner of the basket. Threw on some mesquite chunks and let it come to temp. Rubbed one down with a buffalo rub I made and then one with a Caribbean mango habanero rub.

Indirect to 135 then over the basket to 145. These will make good eats for lunch this week.

Hell yeah those look great! Love grilled/smoked pork tenderloin. I think it gets overlooked a lot. When I find them BOGO I jump on it!

One of the most incredible things I’ve made on my Kamado so far has been this pork tenderloin recipe from Traeger Grills website. It tasted like sweet pork candy. It was awesome!

I ordered the Traeger rub from amazon if memory serves me correct.

It was just a generic store brand but it is really great on pork and chicken. A good heat.

Agreed! I just stocked up last week, so I'll be looking for more opportunities to cook em. I think bgaviator gave me my next reason!
