For individual tenderloin's(~1.3 lbs, the cook time is ridiculous. After 1 hour, they had an internal temp of 180 F, which is way overdone. The seasoning and the sauce are fantastic, a would be great on a pork shoulder.

Recipe says to cook for 3 hours, but doesn't not mention how many lbs of meat to use. heh. So at any rate, mine ended up being done at 2 hours and probably could have been taken out sooner. Also I recommend doubling the sauce recipe as they don't give you much to baste with.

My husband loved this recipe. I didn't use pork. I used chicken and cooked it for only 1 hour at 300 degrees and poured sauce on the chicken every 20 minutes. A bit overheated but good. Next time I will tone down the powered peppers so that my nose won't be so runny.
