There is nothing like the taste of mouth-watering, barbecued pork. The good news is that you can learn to grill like a pro and be the envy of all your family and friends who also happen to love grilled pork. Here are a few pointers. Selection
The first step you need to take is to choose the right pork chops. Some pieces are not suitable for the flame. For example, blade chops end up being too tough after grilling.
Pork Ribs
Pork ribs should be cooked under indirect heat. If you have a substantial number of ribs, you can push the coal onto one side of the grill and the ribs on the other side. Barbecue them slowly while adding a little bit of coal from time to time.
Pork Tenderloin
Choice of cut is also important with pork tenderloin. A cut from the back of the pig where there is little or no fat is the best. Start grilling with direct heat and finish off with indirect heat.
Pork Shoulder
Pork shoulder usually is not very tender, but its juiciness makes up for its relative toughness. Marinate these pieces with your favourite ingredients. Grill slowly over indirect heat until fully cooked.
Pork Brine
Typically adding one part salt to four parts water makes the perfect brine solution. Ensure you soak the salt for at least one and a half hours before you can start smoking the meat.
For best results, purchase Alberta’s favourite pork chops from Spragg’s Meat Shop.
