HELP needed: pork tenderloin?

Hang it? Grate it. Hang it and then grate it? Has anyone done a pork tenderloin?

When all else fails, read the instructions. Just found a video on the Pit Barrel Cooker web site. Another disaster narrowly averted

Probably get the same results hung or grated. The grate sets in the "sweet spot" where the meat would normally hang............

Wound up grating it, and it came out great. I brined the loin for two days in a mixture of sugar, salt, ground pepper & vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and water. Then I used a pork rub from Grill Mates. I'd have posted a picture (to avoid the Unicorn allegations I've been subjected to in the past :P) but we and our guests scarfed it down before I could find my camera. Next time, I think I'll skip the rub. The pork itself was tender and juicy – had it been ribs it'd have been competition bite-worthy. Used my thermapen to remove it from the fire at 145 internal and let it rest for 10 minutes (during which time, had I been thinking properly, I could have taken a picture. See, those Unicorn allegations are well founded)
