I just happened to grill a pork loin this weekend. It was a small boneless cut which I seasoned with a cajun rub and put on the grill at about 250 degress for about 5 hours. I basted it with A&W Root Beer as I had a can that was loitering in my pantry. This I chose after reading somewhere that Coca Cola was used as an ingredient in a BBQ Sauce recipe(can not remember where I saw this or I would give props to he source).

That looks wonderful! I can't wait to break the grill back out. Was it the root beer that gave it that rich color?
