Ingredients

1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast (not pork tenderloin)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Spicy Dry Rub (see * Note) or your favorite dry rub for pork or chicken

Instructions

Prep meat by patting dry with paper towels. There is no need to remove the small fat cap.
Rub all sides of the roast with olive oil and dry spice rub, patting the spices so they stick to the meat.
Let the seasoned pork loin stand on counter to get to room temperature before grilling, about a half hour - 1 hour.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill (or campfire coals) to high heat, 450-550 degrees F. If you don't have a thermometer on your grill, use the "hand test": hold the palm of your hand about 5 inches above the heat source, pull it away before it hurts, 2-3 seconds = high heat.
Place meat on grill grate directly over high heat and sear on all sides with lid open (or closed if windy conditions make it difficult to maintain grill temperature), about 15 minutes total.
Reduce temperature to low heat (see ** Note), approximately 325 F degrees (8-10 seconds with hand test), grill pork loin with the lid closed. If your grill doesn't have a lid, create a dome shaped loose-fitting cover using a piece of aluminum foil to enclose the sides and top of the roast. Turn roast every 15 minutes for even cooking on all sides.
Cook the meat until thickest part of the pork loin reaches an internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer of 145 F degrees, about 1 or 1.5 hours.
Remove from heat, tent with foil and rest on baking sheet or large plate for about 15 minutes before slicing.
Cut 1/2 inch slices and serve hot.

**NOTE: Some propane camp grills always cook "hot", even on their lowest settings. In that case, lift the lid every 10 minutes or so to let some heat escape so the grill temperature drops (leave open for a few minutes), then close the lid to continue cooking.
