7 Steps to a Great Pork Barbeque

You can grill pork over gas flames or briquettes on two types of heat, indirect or direct. Indirect does not require high heat and this is best for pork grilling.

Wood chips can be added to a gas grill, make sure they are soaked first. Keep your propane running during the grilling time, so keep your tank supplied. Temperature is easily controlled with a gas grill.

Pork can take 3 or more hours on a grill, so have in mind something else to do and make sure you check that internal temperature before removing to eat.

You can create your own spice rub from a variety of recipes available. Rubs produce a smoky flavor. Think of adding: chili powder, cumin, paprika, and some sugar.

When serving the pork consider adding a few drops of lime juice, chutney or Tabasco. You could also shred it in some red-based vinegar sauce.
