Pork being char flavoured on the smoker.

Simple Pork Smoked with Oak wood pellets.

We used the cast iron smoke pot for the oak wood pellets, no soaking required.

The best most flavoursome joint of pork we have ever barbecued, Absolutely brilliant smoked oak flavour and the best crackling, drizzled in maple syrup.

Preparation

Using a very sharp knife carefully cut the crackling into strips and then rub with salt and fresh lemon juice.

Keep in the fridge until required.

Stage 1 Smoking

Using the indirect method on your hooded barbecue.

When the charcoal is covered in white ash, ready for cooking, add the wood pellets in a pot or silver foil case.

Once the barbecue starts smoking add the joint to the to the grill and close the lid. The next 30 minutes is when the food is smoke sealed so try and avoid opening the lid.

Smoke for 2 TO 3 hours checking every 30 minutes to reposition the joint on the grill to ensure even cooking. 

Stage 2 Char Flavouring

Place the pork joint directly over the coals using tongs and a spatula to char for that barbecued look. A slight charring will add even more texture and will make super crispy crackling. Don't overcook we just want the pork to look good.

Lightly char both sides.

Stage 3 Slow BBQ

Remove the pork and place on a double layer of foil  and wrap, Slow cook indirectly for another 2 hours.

10 minutes before the end of cooking drizzle the maple syrup over the pork and return to to barbecue.

Serve as a roast dinner with cabbage and roast potatoes.
