If you have never tried Kalua Pig before, you are really missing out on one of Hawaii's favorites at any Luau. I had this for the first time in 1981 at my first Luau. It was fantastic. This is my darn right delicious twist made with Boston Butt and smoked in my own backyard. It doesn't get much better than that. Cooking with Love & Passion. sw :)

How To Make logan's smoked boston butt kalua
-
Step 1Combine garlic, olive oil, parsley, pepper flakes, sea salts, and onion in a small container.
-
Step 2Pierce pork all over with a sharp knife. Stick slices of garlic along with marinate down each whole. Rub remaining marinate all over pork. Cover and marinate overnight.
-
Step 3Prep smoker to 250-275 degrees.
-
Step 4Completely wrap pork with damp banana leaves. Wrap pork in foil tightly.
-
Step 5Smoke for 3 hours, poke holes just though the foil on top and sides. This will allow the pork to get additional smoking. Continue to smoke for 4-4 ½ hours.
-
Step 6Remove pork from foil and banana leaves, on middle rack in oven and broil on high for 5 minutes or so to brown the skin.
