ROSEMARY AND GARLIC SMOKED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• At least 1 hour before grilling, soak wood chips in enough water to cover. Drain wood chips after soaking.
• Trim fat from meat. For rub, combine the snipped rosemary, the olive oil, garlic, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle rub evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of meat.
• For a charcoal grill, arrange medium coals around a drip pan. Pour 1 inch of water into drip pan. Test for medium-low heat above the pan. (Hold your hand, palm side down, in the place where the meat will cook. Count "one thousand one, one thousand two," etc. Being able to keep your hand there for a count of five is equal to medium-low.) Sprinkle half of the wood chips over the coals; sprinkle rosemary sprigs over chips. Place meat on grill rack over drip pan. Cover; grill for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees F. Add remaining wood chips halfway through grilling.
• For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-low. Adjust for indirect cooking; following manufacturer's directions. Grill as above, except place meat on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Remove meat from grill. Squeeze juice from lemon or lime over meat. Cover with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil; let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

SMOKED PORK SHOULDER (SMOKER OR PIT)

Steps:

• Mix all the spice mixture together until combined.
• In a bowl whisk together all the injector mixture until the sugar and salt is completely dissolved.
• Remove the roasts from the fridge.
• If using the injector liquid, inject the COLD two roasts all over with the liquid (using 1/2-ounce per pound).
• Gently pat/coat the roasts all over with the dry rub making certain to adhere the rub well into the meat.
• Let sit out for 1-1/2 hours at room temperature after injecting and coating with rub.
• Cook on a pit or smoker for 1 hour per pound at 225 degrees.

SMOKED PORK BUTT

Steps:

• If desired, soak the pork butt in a brine solution for at least 4 hours or overnight. There's a recipe for a brine on this site titled 'Basic Brine for Smoking Meat'. You should do this covered and in the refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor smoker for 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder and any additional seasonings to your taste. Apply this liberally to the meat and rub it in with your fingers. Place a roasting rack in a drip pan and lay the meat on the rack.
• Smoke at 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C) for 6 to 18 hours, or until internal pork temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SMOKED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Mix the first 3 ingredients together till the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
• 2. Then add the green onion and mix again.
• 3. Pour this over the roast and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• 4. Get your BBQ screaming hot.
• 5. Put a pan under where the roast will be and put some water in it. This will add some extra moistness to the roast. Then put the roast in a heat safe pan.
• 6. Smoke it { uncovered } but keep the top of the BBQ down unless you are adding charcoal or basting the pork, using the indirect cooking method, off to one side of the BBQ away from the direct heat.
• 7. Every 30 to 45 minutes check the coals { adding more as necessary } and spoon the marinade over the roast and give it ¼ turn.
• 8. After 2 hours of turning the basting the roast, flip it over. Let this go for 1 & ½ hours turning it a ¼ turn each time and continue to baste it.
• 9. The final cooking time will consist of turning the roast back the way you started it, baste it one more time, poke holes in the pan with the roast and let the marinade drain out of the pan. Let the roast go for another 30 minutes. COOKING TIME WILL DEPEND ON THE SIZE OF THE ROAST AND HOW HOT YOUR BBQ IS.
• 10. Let the roast cool and now you have choices on what to do with it, you could make pulled pork sandwiches by making some BBQ sauce { or you can use you favorite store brand } get the sauce hot and shred the pork and add it to the sauce. Let this simmer for about 15 minutes.
• 11. Then get some really good bread and slice it. Load it up with the pulled pork and top it with homemade coleslaw! Or you could do a stir fry or add it to soup...let your imagination run wild!

PERFECT SMOKED PORK

Steps:

• Combine all rub ingredients except sugar and grind into a green thick liquid with a food processor, blender or immersion blender.
• Brush or rub green liquid over roast, sprinkle with sugar and wrap tightly with several layers of heavy duty foil.
• Place in refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
• Soak 2 large chunks of hickory in water.
• Light about 40-50 coals or an equal amount of hickory.
• Do not use lighter fluid, a fire starter chimney is the best method.
• Once coals are covered with a gray ash push them over to one side put the soaked hickory chunks on the coals and replace the grate, open the top of the foil wrapped roast and add about 1 cup of water.
• Place roast on cool side of grill and put the cover on the grill with the holes over the meat.
• Turn the meat 180 degrees every 60 minutes.
• Add some more coals/wood in about 2 hours.
• Smoke for a total of 4- 6 hours, internal temperature of the meat will be 170°F or so.
• If the meat starts to get too brown, tent it with another sheet of foil.
• The temp inside the grill should be around 275°F.
• After removing from the grill be sure to cover with foil and allow to sit 15-20 minutes before carving.
• Serve with your favorite bbq sauce, we like recipe#26794, Lee Lee's Famous Barbeque Sauce for Ribs w/ Preserves.
• Brush some on the meat for the last 5-10 minutes of the cooking process if desired.
