3 Backs and a Butt

[Redicans]

My Saturday smoke was 3 racks of baby backs and a 3.5lb pork butt. Ribs were rubbed with a brown sugar rub and butt was simple red Alaea Hawaiian salt.

Two hours in.

At 165 I wrapped the butt in a Ti leaf and Banana leaf in foil. Going for a Kalua pig style cook.

Total cook time was 6hrs. Ribs were not wrapped.

Everything came out nice. Ribs were super tender and Juicy. The butt cam out perfect. Easily shredded and tasted as close to Kalua pig as I can get on a smoker. Really tasty and that smokiness was great. Also liked the smoke ring visual on it.

Sorry no plate shot. Had roasted taters and broccoli for the meal. My brother and good friend were over and a few beers were had!

That is some serious good looking meat…..I thought the rib plate was the plated shot….. the rib plate!

I’m going to try that leaf wrap now. That looked amazing!

Our church has an annual International Dinner and everyone brings an ethnic dish. We have a family from Hawaii that brought Kalua pulled pork. It was absolutely phenomenal! Best I've ever had. Tom is going to get me some Ti leaves if he can sneak them off of the island.

You can get Banana leaf online. Maybe Ti leaf also but it can be done with just Banana. Very simple to do. You should give it a try. Little different than traditional but still very good.

Now that's what I'm talking about!! The ribs look great but I'd love to sit down to a mountain of that pork roast sitting in front of me. I can only guess it was fantastic. Very nice all around.

Thanks Robert, my thoughts exactly. Ribs were good but man the pork was the winner for me!

Awesome smoke on the Kalua pork!
We’ll be visiting a couple islands late next February for our first time.
We’ve been watching hundreds of YouTube videos on eats and places to see and Kalua Pork is in our list to eat!!
