Author Notes
"You get flavors from grilling that you don’t get from roasting. Smokiness, first and foremost. Direct cooking gives a distinct char, and that char adds a lot of taste. You can grill pork loin with charcoal or wood, or gas. Grilling is just really convenient—it’s outside, there’s less mess, and it’s simple. Those are three of the biggest advantages.
