I purchased a pre-marinated pork tenderloin at the grocery store this morning.  As usual, the grilling instructions on the package left out an important detail.  The package said to grill the tenderloin on Medium heat.  It didn't say if it was supposed to be indirect or direct.  I turned to our Weber cookbook for general guidance.  I followed the instructions in the cookbook and went with indirect heat.  Well, it was still too much.  The pork was VERY charred on the outside.  Thankfully, once we were pasted the burned part, the inside was still tender.  

We had roasted broccoli with garlic as our side dish.  After spending many frustrating nights scrubbing the charred broccoli off of my cookie sheets, tonight I covered the sheet with foil first.  I don't think the broccoli charred as nicely as it would have directly on the sheets, but it was still pretty good for broccoli.  And, the smoke detector still went off, so it felt like I was doing something right:)
