Today I took my new Canadian Tire bought, Big Green Egg inspired but for half the money, Vision Grill for a first test smoke. I had picked up a nice piece of pork shoulder from Peter Sanagan’s Meat Locker, which got a rub with a mix of coriander, smoked paprika and chipotle powder.
I mixed wet wood chips with the charcoal, covered the bottom of the firebowl evenly, then lit one side. I set the air in and outlets to the suggested values and within 10 minutes the grill had reached about 230ยบ. Which it them proceeded to hold, on the same load of charcoal, for nine hours.
The resulting pulled pork was awesome; moist, smoky and tender. I served it with Joe Beef’s Redneck BBQ Sauce – Coca Cola, Ketchup and instant coffee, which was pretty awesome.
