Coke brined and pecan smoked pork tenderloin


 
Coke Brined and Pecan Smoked Tenderloin

I brined the tenderloin in a solution of salt, sugar, coke, apple juice and water for 8 hours. Then smoked it around 250 for an hour flipping the loin at the 45 min mark and then cranking up the heat to 275 for another 30 mins until reaching an internal temp of 145. I glazed it with coke bbq sauce about 20 mins before taking it off the pit. I also grilled some asparagus in a foil pack with butter, s&p as well.

Looks good. Wife and I just picked a bunch of Loins up at Krogers too :) May try something like you did and see how one comes out.
