A couple of notes about grilling pork: Most pork, unlike prime beef, is very lean. Loin cuts in particular (loin chops, tenderloin, etc.) have very little marbling of fat within the meat. This means that they can have a tendency to dry out and lack flavor. This means that pork sometimes needs some help in that regard. One way to overcome this is to use a sauce or other strong flavoring ingredients to add flavor and some juiciness to your dish. Another way, which I really love to do when grilling pork, is to brine the meat first, sealing in flavor and juices. Chops and tenderloin alike all seem much better after a good brining.
