Time P1DT5h30m

Yield 1 pan, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons green tea
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons pepper

6 cups mesquite wood chips, soaked in water for 15 minutes and drained

Steps:

  • Combine tea, salt, sugar, and pepper in bowl. Pat pork dry with paper towels and rub with tea mixture. Wrap meat tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours. Place pork in pan and cover pan loosely with aluminum foil. Poke about twenty 1/4-inch holes in foil. Using large sheet of heavy-duty foil, wrap 2 cups soaked chips into foil packet and cut several vent holes in top. Make 2 more packets with additional foil and remaining 4 cups chips.
  • For a charcoal grill: Open bottom vent halfway. Light large chimney starter three-quarters full with charcoal briquettes (4 1/2 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour into steeply banked pile against side of grill. Place wood chip packets on coals. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent halfway. Heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 5 minutes.
  • For a gas grill: Place wood chip packets over primary burner. Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 15 minutes. Turn primary burner to medium-high and turn off other burner(s). (Adjust primary burner as needed to maintain grill temperature at 300 degrees.).
  • Place pan on cool part of grill. Cover (positioning lid vent over meat if using charcoal) and cook for 2 hours. During last 20 minutes of grilling, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Remove pan from grill. Cover pan tightly with new sheet of foil, transfer to oven, and bake until tender and fork inserted into meat meets no resistance, 2 to 3 hours. Let pork rest, covered, for 30 minutes. Unwrap and, when meat is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces, discarding fat. Strain contents of pan through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator. Let liquid settle, then return ¼ cup defatted pan juices to pork. Serve. (Pork can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.).

KALUA PIG



Kalua Pig image

Categories     Pork     Bake     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large banana leaf
6-lb boneless pork shoulder Boston roast (Boston butt), cut across grain into 6 pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 1/2 tablespoons natural liquid smoke-flavoring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Lay 2 sheets of foil (each about 1 feet long) on a work surface with long sides overlapping by about 4 inches. Cut 2 (12-inch) lengths from banana leaf and center 1 on foil. Put pork on banana leaf and sprinkle with salt and liquid smoke. Cover top of pork with other 12-inch length of banana leaf and 2 overlapping sheets of foil (each about 1 1/2 feet long). Crimp edges of foil tightly to form a packet and put in a large roasting pan. Add 1 inches of water and cover pan tightly with more foil.
  • Bake pork in middle of oven 4 hours. Pour off liquid from pan and, when pork is just cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks in a bowl. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Select the right Boston butt: Choose a Boston butt that is between 7 and 9 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat to feed your guests.
  • Score the pork shoulder: Scoring the pork shoulder will help the rub and smoke penetrate the meat more deeply.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what will give your pork shoulder its flavor. Be sure to use a rub that you like and that will complement the pork.
  • Smoke the pork shoulder at a low temperature: Smoking the pork shoulder at a low temperature will help it to cook evenly and develop a tender texture.
  • Use a water pan: Using a water pan will help to keep the pork shoulder moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the pork shoulder rest before serving: Letting the pork shoulder rest before serving will help it to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.

Conclusion:

Logan's Smoked Boston Butt Kalua is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The pork shoulder is smoked to perfection and then shredded and served with a variety of sides. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
