I've got two pork tenderloins in the fridge soaking up a delicious marinade. Gonna tie them end to end (fat to skinny, skinny to fat) then I'm going to do the bacon explosion bacon weave and indirect it for 2-3 hours in my weber. With the high to be only about 30 degrees today it could take longer. At least there is not supposed to be any wind...
 
Buddy of mine did it a few weeks ago. It was awesome. Been wanting to do one ever since. I planned on doing it later when it was warmer but I can't wait.

Not today. Can't wait any longer. Been too limited in what I've done on the grill the last couple months. Too much quick cooking because of the weather. Still not breaking out the big smoker just yet, but I can't wait any longer on the bacon wrapped loin....
 
Loin has been on for about 90 minutes. After 60 it looked like it hadn't had much heat at all. So I cranked up the heat on the grill. Hopeing to be ready to pull it off at 3-3.5 hours....
 
Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin



Inspired by the bacon explosion I decided to try a bacon weave wrapped around a pair of pork tenderloins tied together. As the saying goes, everything is better with bacon. I also have some pics from a fellow grillin fool who also did a bacon wrapped pork loin a few weeks ago that I had the privilege of sampling...To see pics and the write up of both click here

I think I may just have to try this someday! I've got a pack or two of pork tenders in the freezer. Maybe the next time I do pork butt I'll prep some of these as well. The bacon-explosion tenders could be lunch, while the pork butt will be dinner.
 
hmmm .. that looks like a pork loin to me ..
all the tenderloins i have ever gotten have been
quite a bit smaller ...

Just make sure that portable difibrulator is sitting nearby!?!?!

Speaking of not eating healthy, I just want to add that for my bacon wrapped pork I did use low sodium bacon!?!?! You know, to keep it healthy!?!

the last ABT's i cooked were made with:

97% fat free turkey bacon, butterball brand
fat free cream cheese

sure they didnt taste exactly like the originals but there are healthier ways to cook it

OK, so you say that a meal consisting of Pork Butt, Pork Tenderloin Explosion, a couple of fatties and some ABT's is healthy because you can use turkey bacon and fat free cream cheese in the ABT's.

Isn't that sorta like saying, "well other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"
 
no i am just saying that there was a different way of eating them

when Mrs.Bam is on a diet.... i Q turkey breast wrapped in cheesecloth(to maintain moisture), no extra sauce, low sugar, lots of spices and diet ABT's

but on the other rack, i Q for myself

i had to consult Mrs.Bam about your Lincoln remark... i am Canadian after all..lol

better one would have been... its like going to McDonalds..ordering 3 big macs,2 fries and ordering a DIET coke..lol

Yeah, that's a good one....The fact that McDonald's even has diet coke is pretty ridiculous....
