We were shopping at Costco & this hunk of meat called out: "Cook me! Eat Me!"
Not one to deny a talking Pork Loin, I did as it asked. I used a recipe from Weber's "Way To Grill".

Used 2/3 chimney of KBB and some hickory splits for a medium heat fire. The roast was coated with olive oil & heavily seasoned with salt & pepper.
Cooked indirect with the lid on.

Red currant sauce (red currant preserves, ketchup, apple juice, cider vinegar, soy sauce, whiskey & red pepper flakes)

The pork was cooked to 145* internal temperature.

Gave it some sear:

It was removed from the grill, tented with foil & rested 20 min. Cooked the asparagus & tomatoes on the pos gasser.

Time to eat! Served with my wife's fantastic potato salad, the veggies & the sauce.

This was maybe the best pork chops we've ever had. Wife & I both agree on this.
 
Thanks for the comments everyone!
This was the first time I cooked this particular piece of meat & I was a bit intimidated. Was going to smoke it, but this recipe seemed pretty straight forward. It was an EZ cook, actually.
 
Nice Cook. I christened my weber kettle rotis. with one of those big bone in racks. Brined it in an apricot marinade, home made 14 spice rub and slow roasted it.

By far the best chop Ive ever Q'd.
