Watcha cookin'?

[Speedy_RCW]

Sounds like that's what we'll be having for dinner tonight!

Oh it's grub, you'll like it. And here's the rub I use for pork butt for next time around. I think it's pretty good.

3-Tbsp Tony's or comparable cajun seasoning
4-Tbsp Turbinado brown sugar (this type of sugar will burn at a higher temperature than regular brown sugar)
1/2-Tsp Paprika
1/4-Tsp Cumin
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 Tsp Onion Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt

This is how pulled pork is done in Hawaii, "imu" style...



build a serious hot fire with kiawe (mesquite) wood and imu rocks, which are porous lava rocks



when the rocks begin to glow red, put on a layer of smashed banana stumps (provide moisture) and banana leaves



put pork butts, turkeys, sweet potatoes, hams or whatever on top...cover with banana leaves, then wet burlap sacks, followed by a couple large tarps...then seal the edges of the tarp with the dirt that came out of the pit. Close the pit about 6:00 pm, open it about 6:00 am the next morning...this takes a village to pull off...

Thank you! It was even better this morning with a couple of fried eggs, and fresh hashbrowns

I have noticed most bbq I like the next day vs hot off the pit. Flavors mend and good things happen.

That makes for some of the best tasting pulled pork I've ever had!

Looks delicious. Too bad you don't live on Maui or I'd invite myself over for dinner.

On a really flat day, I could make Lahaina from Kaneohe Bay in about 4 hours on my boat...

I love my weber genesis grill. But I find myself using my traeger more and more for both smoking and grilling. If I had to choose one, it would be the traeger.
