Step 4

Step 5

Step 6
Insert the probe into the thickest part of the pork loin, avoiding any large pockets of fat. Place the roasting pan onto the grill grates. Close the lid and roast the pork for 45 minutes. Pour the reduced marinade over the pork and continue to roast, basting 2-3 times with the marinade until the internal temperature reaches 140°F and the meat is nicely glazed, 30-60 minutes.
