Kona Rubbed Strip Loin

Summer is grilling time! What are some of your favorite recipes to grill? Do you grill meat? Veggies? Fruit? I love everything grilled and grill all year long because of my indoor grill. I like the rub recipe which is used on this strip loin. I plan on trying the rub on pork chops and chicken this summer.
