Boneless Pork Shoulder on the Roti

Did this a week ago.  Another win for the roti.  8)

Picked up a boneless pork shoulder. 
Came in two hunks.  I sliced one into 2, and the other into 3.
NOTE:  No fat was trimmed from this ... none, zero.  YMMV















I decided that this needed to marinate. 
So, I whipped up a simple marinade consisting of bbq sauce, acv, Worcestershire, maple syrup and salt.  About 3 cups total.








Put everything into two ziplocs and divided the marinade evenly. 
This marinated for 48 hours ... That's right, 48 hours.  Turning the bags occasionally.

Before going on the spit, I dusted some rub on each piece.

My thinking was that there was going to be a lot of "floppy" pieces spinning around.
So, to secure those pieces, I used a few bamboo skewers to help with that .... Worked like a charm!  :D

One cup of boiling water went into the drip pan.











At 2 hours in, I checked the IT.  Also added more lit charcoal. 
Removed the drip pan and centered the basket to get some flame on the meat.  Only did this for about 5 minutes or so.
Then put the basket back to the side and returned the drip pan.










I removed it after a little more than 3 hours and let it rest.  I didn't check the IT .... Figured it was done.

Prior to removing the meat, I had another kettle going for the sides.  I used the olive briquets in the Ivory.























This was like eating pork candy.  I tried to have some fat with each mouthful as it was outrageously delicious!!

That's awesome man. Looks fantastic.  Sounds like the roti speeds up cook time. I noticed that on a rack of ribs I did.

That looks really good Mac. When I saw the pork cuts my first thought was how much twine will he use to tie it all up? The bamboo skewers was a brilliant idea.

Those look great. Maybe I'll try one this weekend. What is the average cook time to plan for?  Also, what internal temp is ideal and should I tie it up?  Do you inject or just rub and spin?
