Cook them seperately. I always reverse sear. Low and slow 225 to 250 to about 125-130 IT then sear to 140 IT. Pork tenderloin is awesome this way. Like Fire Art says dry brine ahead of time as well. Try a fruit wood such as apple or cherry.
I love pork tenderloin but want to make sure you have that and not just regular pork loin....
A couple easy but very tasty things I do is:
1. (This is my favorite) Dry brine with kosher salt, sprinkle some coarse ground pepper, and crushed dried rosemary. Put it on the grill around 325-350... if the muscle is triangle shaped I turn it and let it cook on all three sides.... simple but also allows the flavor of the meat to come through.
or
2. Hit it with a dry brine again and then use a rib rub.... put on the grill and towards then end Sauce it with peach or apple butter bbq sauce...
3. You could also slice and wrap the slice in bacon like a filet and do some medallions....
To me pork tenderloin is lacking in flavor. I like to open them up and stuff them with some aromatics, tie them back up then bacon wrap. They do well either smoked or on the rotisserie to an internal of 140.
