"Sweet and spicy, flavourful and easy to make. This recipe uses slow indirect heat to make a tender and succulent loin roast. You can set in on the barbecue and forget it so it is great when you have company. Inspired by a recipe in Cottage Life's Summer Weekend Cookbook"

Was good just not great. DH & DS think maybe too much herbs or too much citrus juice. Will try again with 1 Tablespoon of the juice for rub and baste sauce.
