BBQ Pork Tenderloin

We LOVED this recipe and will make it again and again.  The rub really made it extra special.  I went to WinCo and made a big batch of rub so that when I make this it will be a quick meal.  Buying spices in the bulk section is such an expensive way to do it.  Recipe is at the bottom.
 
1 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
(If you made a big batch, use about 2 T rub).
Heat grill to 375° - 400°. Pat pork tenderloin dry. Combine all dry spices and and sprinkle and rub over pork tenderloin. Spray pork tenderloin with non-stick cooking spray and place on hot grill.
Grill tenderloin, turning once during the cooking process. When pork tenderloin is almost done, bast with BBQ sauce. Cook until internal temperature has reached 145°, and the outside of the tenderloin has good grill marks. (This took about 15-20 on my grill.) 
You can also follow these same directions and cook in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the pork reaches 145°.
Let pork tenderloin rest for 5 - 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
Big batch rub:
1/3 cup + 1 T(heaping)  salt, pepper, and cumin
¾ cup + 1 T extra smoked paprika
3 T + 1 t. onion powder and garlic powder
*This makes enough for 20 pork tenderloins.
