  3. Grill on hot (direct) side of grill 5 minutes per side, turning 3 times (20 minutes total).
  4. Transfer to cooler (indirect) side of grill; temperature of grill should now hold steady at 300 degrees. Grill pork 8 to 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing, temperature of meat will increase to 145 degrees.
