This is pork that earns its spot on the grill! We lean on smoked and grilled mains when the weather cooperates and flavor needs to pull its weight without adding stress. Every recipe here is designed to hold moisture, build a smoky crust, and finish juicy without constant checking. Youโ€™ll see a range of cook times and methods that lead to golden surfaces, clean slices, and plates that feel worth the wait.
