I take the fat that has rendered out and the bone and freeze that for split pea soup, bean soup or smoky pumpkin soup.
¼ goes for sammies and the other ¼ I make a regular dinner with it, meat, potatoes, salad etc.
This is a wee bit of work, and does require some attention, but oh so worth it…....and the greatest thrill for a BBQ-er " yep that's a word "...ha ha ha is when you cut into the roast and you see the perfect smoke ring :-))))))

How to Make Smoked pork for pulled pork sammies
- Mix the marinade well and divide in ½ put ½ in the refrigerator and the other ½ you’ll want to marinade the roast in. Marinade at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Plan on smoking this for at least 6 - 8 hours depending on the size of the roast.
- When you are ready to smoke the roast, light a chimney with paper and charcoal when the coals are white put it in the BBQ for indirect grilling.
- Remove the roast and drain off as much of the marinade as possible and put into a foil pan.
- Set the pan to the side of the coals “ indirect cooking method”.
Baste the roast about every 30 minutes. - Every 30 – 45 minutes add hot coals to the grille. This will take at least 6 -8 hours so plan on starting this early in the morning…I started this roast at 7:30am…and it was done at about 6 :00 – 6:30pm.
- Once the roast is done…..and cooled I take about ¼ of it and put it in the freezer for tamales or enchiladas or something like that.
I take the fat that has rendered out and the bone and freeze that for split pea soup, bean soup or smoky pumpkin soup.
¼ goes for sammies and the other ¼ I make a regular dinner with it. - This is a wee bit of work…..but oh so worth it…..and you'll get 4 meals out of it....
