AMERICAN PORK BARBECUE

Serve 20

Ingredients

1 5-pound boneless pork butt (shoulder roast)
1½ teaspoons paprika
1½ teaspoons ground white pepper
1½ teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Soft sandwich buns
 

Cooking Directions

Combine all seasonings well in a small bowl and rub evenly over roast.

Prepare a medium fire, banked, in covered grill.

Position pork over a drip pan, add about 1/2 inch water or apple juice to drip pan. Grill over indirect heat for 3½-4 hours, until pork is very tender.

Add more coals as needed to maintain a grill temperature of about 300 degrees, but avoid opening grill often.

Remove pork to large cutting board or platter and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

Slice or chop to serve.
 

Serving Suggestions
This classic from the South is a favorite from coast to coast, though sauces served alongside vary widely from region to region. Serve your favorite sauce with this slowly cooked pork roast, and offer tangy coleslaw to top sandwiches.
