There’s nothing like grilling your dinners all summer, enjoying the late sunsets as an excuse to get more time outdoors. It helps keep the house cool too, which is especially helpful on days when it’s so hot you can’t stop chugging your favorite infused lemonade. Pork is especially great on the grill, coming out tender, juicy, and flavorful every time (especially if you use a marinade.) Whatever your cut of choice may be, these are the 14 grilled pork recipes you’ll find yourself devouring all summer long.
