Ramblings for the Gadget and Tech Obsessed Cooking Rotisserie Pulled Pork on a Webber Kettle Grill

Rotisserie Pulled Pork on a Webber Kettle Grill



Rotisserie Pulled Pork with Beans

The Meat

I had the itch today for some Rotisserie Pulled Pork on a Weber Kettle Grill so I broke out my trusty Grill  along with the OnlyFire Rotisserie attachment and got to work.  The entire smoke session takes me about 5-7 hours depending on how cooperative my coals are being.  I have tried cooking pulled pork many ways, on the gas grill (both on the grate and rotisserie), in a smoker… but I have always found out over the years that mine turns out the best when prepared with a  kettle-rotisserie setup.  There is just nothing like that charcoal flavor.  Here is how I do it…

Meat Prep

Pork Shoulder Picknic cut
Two pork shoulders about 10 LBS each

I always do these two at a time and use 8-10 LB pork shoulder skin removed.  I know some of you are already cringing a bit but hey.. I gotta keep things lean.  I brine it for about 3 hours in a cooler and then rub it down with some brown sugar and garlic powder.  Put it on the spit and get your coals ready.

Kettle Grill Prep:

I try to keep the kettle around 300 degrees and I find that this is the perfect temperature for a crisp outer shell and inner moisture.  I heat up an entire stack of coal in a chimney starter and pour it into the Slow and go.  Top it off with some wood chunks just before you close the lid.  I use apple wood chunks soaked in water.  Set up the Onlyfire Rotisserie ring and plug in the motor.

I use a combination of Black, pinto, kidney and Bushes vegetarian for this recipe.and cook everything 5 quart cast iron dutch oven Like this one.  I start by crisping up some bacon in the dutch oven, put it aside when its done, then saute the onion in the bacon grease till it looks good to you.  While your doing this, open the cans of beans and drain the pinto/black/kidney but not the vegetarian.   When the onion is done, mix everything else below together.  Then simply put the entire dutch oven directly under your rotisserie meat uncovered so it catches all the lovely drippings.  Stir it occasionally
