Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine mangoes, onion, brown sugar, parsley, ground red pepper, and salt; mix well and set aside.

If you love the taste and smell of charcoal grilling, there's a great grilling tool on the market that heats your coals quickly and keeps them hotter longer. To learn more about chimney starters, click here.

you can use a large coffee (or similar) can as a chimney starter, take of top and bottom and using a "church key" punch holes all around the "bottom", about 4 half sheets of newspaper in the bottom, add charcoal on top, light the paper... when coals are hot use pliers or tongs to pull off the can, now you have hot coals on the grate...

Thanks for that info. We have just about burned through a store bought one and were planning to replace it soon. I am guessing that a "church key" is like the sharp end of a bottle opener?

Jerk seasoning is a Jamaican blend of spices, and can usually be found in any grocery store spice aisle. McCormicks actually makes a great sweet/spicy dry jerk seasoning. Some stores also carry a liquid jerk seasoning that is also quite delicious, but very different in flavor than the dry/rub seasoning.

Cooking time? How can a 1 1/2 pound loin cook on the grill in 15 minutes when it would take up to 45 minutes in a 325 dgree oven? Is the cooking time correct?
