Slow cooked on the Grill Pork Lion with a spicy dry rub

Who in the South doesnt love BBQ and that good Bark crust!!

I bought a Boneless Pork Lion and cut it in half. ( I freeze the other half for a later date)

I created a nice dry rub:
tsp coarse black pepper
tsp cinnamon
tsp sea salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
tsp dry mustard
tsp nutmeg
tsp sage
tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp granulated garlic
tsp cumin

I rub my pork down really good and place in a double tinfoil bed. I put it on the grill for 10 mins and then add a cup of Coke to the bed of my tinfoil. This helps to create that Bark and get a caramelize going with the sugar.
I tent up my foil and continue to cook until the internal temp of my pork is 160 degrees. I removed my pork from the tinfoil and placed it on the grill for a few mins to crust it up and get that dark bark crust you can see in my picture.
This was so good. My kids could not believe how good it was!
