Yield: 10-12 Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 – 6 lbs. pork shoulder with fat cap (skin removed)
- 2 cups store bought jerk sauce (500ml)
To Serve:
- 5 mangos peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 limes
- 15 soft buns
- 12 cups apple wood chips (8 cups of these soaked in cool water for 1 hour and drained)
- (3 Litres)
- ¼ cup allspice berries dried (60ml)
Directions
- Place the pork on a tray and using a fork pierce it all over to tenderize the meat.
- Pour the one cup (250ml) of the jerk sauce over the pork and coat the meat completely. Reserve 1 cup (250ml) of the jerk sauce use as a basting sauce and to coat the meat when finished.
- Cover marinated pork with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, prepare the smoke pouches. Allow 8 cups of wood chips to soak in water for 1 hour.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator and all it to come to room temperature.
- Combine 2 cups (500ml) of drained wet woodchips and 1 cup (250ml) of the dry chips on a large piece of foil. Sprinkle in some dried allspice berries. Wrap the foil around the wood chips and berries to create a pouch. Using a fork, pierce the pouch all over to allow smoke to escape. Repeat steps to make 3 more pouches (4 pouches in total).
- Prepare barbeque for indirect smoking. Turn 1 burner on and remove the grill grate.
- Slide a drip pan under the grates that are turned off. Place the smoke pouch directly on the burner.
- Place the pork over the drip pan on the side of the grill that is turned off.
- Close barbeque lid and adjust temperature to read 220°F (105°C).
- Slow smoke pork for 5-6 hours or until the meat is soft when pressed. Replace the smoke pouch when smoke dissipates (approximately every 1- 1 ½ hrs) and baste occasionally with some of the reserved marinade.
- Remove pork from barbeque and cover loosely with foil.
- Let meat rest for 30 minutes before serving.
- Slice the mango into thin slices and drizzle with lime juice.
- Once meat has rested, pull the pork in shreds and place in a bowl. Add remaining cup (250ml) of jerk sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve pulled pork on buns with fresh slices of mango and lime.
