The BBQ Site

Pulled pork is essentially a piece of pork smoked for a long time. It is the purist form of BBQing, the origins are are from the southern states of america, where a whole hogs was cooked in pits, sometimes for days, the pork is then shredded by hand and served on plain white bread.

First off you need to get the BBQ going, we are really smoking the pork so the temperature doesn’t need to be that hot. Ideally we are looking for a temp of around 105-110C. Once the BBQ is away and running, add your wood chips for smoking. Place your chips in a little tin to prevent them burning up. Place your piece of pork on the grill, put the lid on and wait. You are looking at a cooking time of around 5-6 hours. As the cooking time is so long you will need to keep checking the coals. You are trying to grill running at a steady temperature.

Toward the end of the cooking period you can start basting the pork.
