Making grilled stuffed backstraps (with pork instead of venison)

The Total Outdoorsman Guide by T. Edward Nickens is not just full of hunting tricks or how to set up a tent, it also includes a scarce few recipes as well. The original recipe for the grilled stuffed backstraps calls for one piece of venison backstrap, which is a very nice cut of deer meat, but unless you hunted and killed the deer yourself the meat is quite expensive. Because I don't have a hunting license, and didn't want to pay in the range of $75 per pound of meat, I decided to use pork instead. One thing that I had to learn in order to make this dish was how to truss a cut of meat with kitchen string and how to make a butterfly cut in the meat, but it sure turned out great.
