On The Grill

Pulled pork is a crowd pleaser, so why not get some practice in on using your grill as a smoker before spring and summer entertaining starts. Here is a pulled pork recipe that is guaranteed to please. You can use your 55 gallon drum charcoal grill, or any other charcoal grill you have available.

Need:
Sesame Seed or Onion Rolls
Sweet & Dill Pickles
1 bone in pork shoulder roast around 6-7 lbs
BBQ Rub-Your choice or mine
1/2 c brown sugar packed firmly
2 -3 tbs coarse salt or sea salt
3 tbs black pepper
2 tsp garlic and onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 c. sweet paprika
Combine and mix well
Sprinkle the rub on the pork roast and rub it in with your hands, wrap it up and put it in the fridge for 8-24 hours.
Mop Sauce
Slice one onion thinly
1tsp course salt
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp black pepper
1 c. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Mix it up in a glass or nonreactive bowl put in an airtight container, and place int the fridge
- Get out the Chimney starter. Don’t have one find out how to make your own chimney starter at this link Crumple your news paper in the bottom of the chimney starter, place the starter on the grill, light the newspaper, and wait around 20-30minutes for the orange red glow.
- Place a drip pan in the center of the grill, and put the coals on both sides of the pan.
- Take your soaked wood chips -link here to see how to prepare wood chips- on each mound of coals.
- Place the roast fat side up on the grill, it will be cooking slowly over the slow indirect heat for 4-6 hours.
- If using charcoal add 10-14 charcoal and 1/2 cups fresh wood chips every 1-1 1/2 hours.
- Apply the mop sauce with a brush every hour while the roast is on the grill. This is an important step, so don’t forget to baste often for the best flavor.
- After four hours place an instant meat thermometer in the middle of the roast when the temperature on the thermometer reads 195 degrees your pork is done.
- Remove the meat from the grill and place on a clean cutting board. The pork will be easiest to remove while still hot.
- Wearing gloves pull off the tough burned exterior crust, and any skin with fat. You will tear off chunks of meat you will then need to use your fingers to shred the chunks into small strips of meat. If you want you can also chop the larger pieces into small pieces with a meat cleaver
- Place your pork in pans and cover with 1- 1 1/2 cups mop sauce to keep moist, but not drench. Cover with aluminum foil and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.
- Heap onto buns, and add your choice of finishing sauces.
