Kick-your-ass pork tenderloin posted at 1:02 AM
food

Ingredients:

1 lb. pork tenderloin
Marinade or brine of choice
Hickory wood chips (May try this with mesquite)

1. Prepare marinade or brine. If brining, soak meat overnight; with marinade, at least four hours, no more than 24. The hotter your marinade, the more ass-kicking your tenderloin.

2. 1 hour before cooking, soak approximately 3 cups of wood chips in water.

3. Heat coals. Distribute over one side of grill. Sprinkle with about 1 cup of soaked wood chips.

4. Place meat on side of grill grate opposite coals, and cover grill. Grill for 30 minutes, turning and adding 1 cup additional wood chips every 10 minutes

5. Remove from grill. Wrap loosely in aluminum foil, allow to sit NO LESS THAN 10 minutes.

6. Enjoy.
