1st smoke w/800w element.
I did a me too of your smoke Tony with a couple of twists. No Brine, and I halved the loins and tied side to side w/small end matched w/larger end to try to have a uniform diameter overall. Maple syrup and Daves. I inserted the PID meat probe in the largest cut and put the prepared meat in my freezer overnight. (goal is to smoke longer)
Today:
Set PID 205 and 143 IT 1.9 oz cherry.
Placed Miss Lilly(Apple) on bottom supported with a spare SI-rack to keep it flush with smoke box. Pork placed on top shelf of SI.
PID temps at start = 72 and -3
temps @ 15 min 143 & 13 IT
temps @ 49 min 205 & 25 iT (target smoke temp)
temps @ 1 hr 207 & 27 IT (smoker went to 207 momentarily & then settled back to 205)
My total smoke time was 1:58 to IT 143
Removed from SI and Seared on Breville BGR820XL Smart Grill (I luv it)
Tenderloins were very juicy and overall excellent IMHO. Sorry no pics of finished product mainly because I wasn't satisfied with the appearance due to my lack of meat tying experience.
Some related pics added.
