Cooked up a pair of pork tenderloins from Snake River Farms I'd had in the chestie for a bit. Packed as a pair with total weight 3lb/1.4kg. Dry brined about 4 hours ahead, then dusted with Central BBQ Rib Rub half an hour prior. Ran them in the Pit Boss Copperhead pellet smoker on the low-T "smoke" setting (about 120F/50C) for about an hour, then set it to 250F/120C. IT got to about 75F/24C by then, after which it climbed pretty quickly.
At IT 125F/52C, I applied some sauce to each one - a honey mustard mix to one, and a soy-mirin teriyaki sauce to the other. Then cranked up the set point to 350F/175C. Got to final target of 145F/63C in another 15 min or so, for a total time of just about two hours before I sliced it up.
Both were excellent, tender and juicy, lots of flavor. Sides were steamed zucchini and rice. I think I preferred the teriyaki sauce a bit over the honey mustard... all in all highly successful.
