Ingredients
1, 3-4kg bone-in pork shoulder
2-3 tbsp yellow mustard
60mg BBQ Rub
1 tbsp BBQ Rub (for later use)
Method
You’ll need 4 hours of cook time for every 1kg of pork. For example, an 4kg pork shoulder will take about 16 hours from start to finish.
- Cure your meat removing superficial extra fat and sprinkle a little Worcestershire sauce/Mustard
- Pour an homogeneous layer of rub and let sit
- Set up your kettle with minion method, light 1/4 chimney and pour it in the centre.
- Cover your heat deflector plate with 2 layers of aluminium foil, with a little salt between them to help stabilisation.
- Add some wood chunks, 2 on lighted briquettes and 1 a little away from them then place the plate over the briquettes, taking care to make it not touch the charcoal.
- Place a drip tray on the heat deflector plate with about 3-4cm of water.
- Set up your kettle at 120°C, add a light second layer of rub on your meat and start your cook!
- If necessary, after about 1h spray a little apple vinegar or juice over the meat.
- Around internal temperature of 70°, or when you get a good bark, foil your meat with a little apple juice or vinegar. Around internal temperature of 98° check your meat tenderness with a probe, then remove the meat from the kettle and let sit in a warm place for about an hour.
- Pull apart the shoulder, discarding any chunks of fat or gristle. Sprinkle the roast with an additional tablespoon of the BBQ Rub. Serve and enjoy!
