Remove the pork from the grill and let the coals burn down for 10 minutes. Return the pork to the grill, cover and let cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 160 degrees, about 3 hours. If the pork is not done and the fire is out, finish cooking in the oven at 325 degrees. Let cool. Refrigerate until cold.
• Trim the ends off of the pork and slice the roast as thin as possible. To serve, arrange the cantaloupe slices on plates or a large platter and drape 1 slice of pork over each piece of melon.

Layer the prosciutto and cantaloupe on the bottom piece of the baguette, ruffling and folding the prosciutto as you go. Drizzle a tablespoon of the basil drizzle over the top. Drizzle the cut side of the top piece with 1/4 cup or so of the basil drizzle. Place the top piece of baguette on the prosciutto and cantaloupe and cut into 2 sandwiches using a serrated knife.
