Add pork, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and BBQ Seasoning to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Set aside. Halve rolls.
  2. Add onions, pickle juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and half the vinegar to a small bowl. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Set aside to pickle. Add spring mix, carrots, half the mayo, remaining vinegar and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Set aside.
  3. Add pork to one side of the grill. Close lid and grill, flipping once, until cooked through, 4-6 min per side.** When pork is almost done, brush one side with some BBQ sauce, then flip. Grill for 30 sec, then repeat with other side.
