Hey Gang! Question for you all.
I'm being asked to smoke up a couple of pork tenderloins for Easter at a relatives house about an hour away. Originally, it was supposed to be a 6:00 pm dinner. Now they are saying noon - or at least my M-I-L is saying noon. There is no way I can have the traditional Easter festivities with my kids here on Easter morning, then transport the smoker, etc for an hour and get pork tenderloins smoked by noon.
So - my thought is to do the smoking late Saturday and bring it over there Sunday. I've read a lot about foiling and coolering, but that seems like it best applies to larger cuts of meat like briskets or butts.
Am I OK using this technique for pork tenderloins - and if so, how long can I let the meat sit in the cooler? Or - am I better to smoke Saturday, then chill the tenderloins and rehet them at their house Sunday when we get there? If that's the better option, what's the best way to reheat these?
A bit of a long post - but I hope you guys can give a rookie a little advise.
Thanks!
