Best Oink Grill Goods

[meatshop101]

Hi All,

Some of you may've seen another post or two of mine, I'm a retired butcher and, because I miss it a tremendous lot, I started a website to develop and maintain as a way of keeping in touch with the work that got in my blood so much over the years.  These forums have been really tremendously helpful to me in continuing to grow the site because I get the most wonderful and thoughtful feedback.

Today, I was wondering who would mind sharing what is your very favorite pork item to put on the grill?  It is one of the more common questions I get and although I can express my favorite and the reasons why I like it so much, these things always vary from palate to palate, so I would love to be able to share others' choices and why.

Thanks so much for any feedback, and I hope it's as beautiful today where you are as it is here in the south!

All the Best,

E Turner

I like a nice pork steak on the grill. I have seasoned them with garlic salt and pepper which is good. My favorite how ever is slathered with BBQ sauce and cooked on high heat to burn it on a little and crisp up the fat. Gotta have them cut thick enough so they don't dry out.

Hi ET & welcome to the SMF.

I love just about everything pork, but my favorites are babyback ribs and bone-in pork butts.

Grill or Smoke? too me, you can beat properly smoked pork Chop. cut think or even double chop. brine,season,smoke until just right. it's fantastic

if you want to talk about pork, i must say that baby back ribs on pork is just superb...but at the same time we must say that it get much more time to get boiled than the beef.

I'll vote on pork butt ( bone-in) and country style ribs. I'm gettin' hungry just thinking about it.

I love BBQ so I have to go with some baby back ribs on the smoker.  Since I started smoking it is rewarding doing the whole process instead of going to a BBQ place and just ordering some.

On the grill...a nice steak! In the smoker....everything I have done so far....love PP and ribs. I am getting spoiled...don't enjoy going to BBQ joints anymore. Much more fun and tastes better from home.

For the grill, thick pork chops with seasoning and melted garlic butter on top.

I totally agree. I think bbq joints are a joke compared to good ole home smoking goodness....

I enjoy just about anything Pork on the grill or in my smoker.

One of my favorites is a Pork Belly sandwich we will throw together at work. We do a breakfast where we need to use pork belly as a part, but we end up with extra/scraps. So we make sandwiches out of them.

1. We rub the pork belly with: Salt, pepper, onion, garlic, oregano(little) and orange zest
2. Smoke for 3hrs at 250
3. Place in a pan with onions and beer. Wrap and bake in the oven at 325 until tender (about 2hrs, some go faster and some slower)
4. Chill to below 40 degrees
5. Cut into 1/2" steaks
6. Grill and place on fresh bread with your favorite condiment. I like Dijon mustard and iceberg lettuce....

No bad cuts of pork in my opinion. But, if I had to choose, Baby Backs and Bone in Butts. Show me the money.

Nobody has mentioned sausages. Nice, thick sausages made from coarsely ground pork shoulder with a rich portion of sweet nutty pork fat, gently seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic. Proper pork casings to get that nice crack when you bite into it. Grilled to a golden shiny perfection. Perhaps a cold one with it?

Think I have to go have a short meeting with my fridge...

Yes that falls into just about anything for me....... A properly well seasoned sausage is great...... I am hoping that after I get some of my in progress projects done, I can start on learning more about the art of Force Meats and Curing....

For grilling, I love pork butt steaks and Italian sausage! Country-style ribs are good for feeding a butload of people and taste incredible, too!
