This Crown Roast of Pork recipe is perfect to cook for a large group of people, because the prep will only take about 30 minutes, and your guests will think you spent days! We add a bit of smokey flavor with some cherry wood in the smoker box, and I show you how to keep the roast juicy by roasting it over some vegetables, aromatics, and red wine.

  3. Place your roasting pod in the grill, turn the far right burner to high, and the burner beneath the roasting pod to medium.
  4. Preheat grill to 425°F.
  5. Place drip pan filled with chopped vegetables in the bottom of the roasting pod, pour in red wine, olive oil, rosemary sprigs, and season with Mediterranean blend.
  6. Put cooking grids over drip pan on roasting pod and place crown roast on the grids.
