Brats and pork tenderloins - together or separate smokes?

[ltdlld85]

Have 4 tenderloins and 3 pkgs of brats - when we did pork tenderloins last week - they only took an hour- recommended time on brats is 2 hours-  ok to smoke these together? If so- what temp?

Hey L&L, Looks like you can smoke them together, I would do 225 on the temp. or how you did your tenderloins last week. Just put the brats on the top rack and the tenderloins below. Maybe 3 oz of a cherry or apple wood. Good luck.

Pre cooked brats? or raw?  If raw cook to the temp (160 165), they might take longer than the loin.

Fine to cook together.

Here we go!
1.5 oz hickory, 1 oz cherry chips. Set at 200.
One of the loins has a temp probe in it.
Fingers crossed!

Should be fine, L&L!

Third smoke at L & L smoking adventures!

2 packages sausage, 4 pork tenderloin
Sausages - no prep
Pork loin 4 hour rest in fridge with mustard various rubs - not brined.
2 loins each on top 2 shelves, 10 links 3rd shelf
1/3 pan water, 1.5 ounce hickory, 1 ounce cherry chips in foil boat.
Temp set at 200
Started at 3:30, finished at 5ish. Sausages cooked fast then
slowed down, reached  IT 160 at same time loins were IT 150.
3 min broil each side for loins to brown,
then to rest wrapped in foil/ towels
Sausages IT  150's when checked - broiled each side for browning
Then IT 165+
Success!

Looks good, enjoy.

Put the sausage and pork on the rack, let the juices fall?   Unless that was a later wrap.

Just my humble opine.

John, the pic of the 4 loins in foil was done when they finished "resting", the earlier pic showed the stacking in #1.  I have to avoid excess fat- so the links had to be below the loins.
I really appreciate the forum contributors and available resources!, and we are enjoying the results!   I've been cooking a long long time- never mastered pork until now- (taste + tenderness).
