Sage and Apple Wood Smoked Crown Roast of Pork

Preparation & Cooking Time: 2 & 2 hours
Serves: 14

Ingredients

Thanks to Weber Australia for this one.

  • 1 x Weber Firespice Smoking Wood- Apple Wood Chunk
  • 1 x crown roast of pork (14-16 points, approximately 2.9kg)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons sage chopped
  • Salt and Pepper

Method

Step 1Soak your Apple Wood Chunk for two hours in water.

Step 2Set up your kettle for indirect normal fire cooking method. Light your Heat beads either by using the supplied charcoal baskets or a chimney starter.

Step 3While the barbecue is heating, prepare the crown roast of pork.

Step 4Remove the pork from the fridge and rub the olive oil, sage, salt and pepper all over the pork.

Step 5To help prevent the bones from burning, wrap aluminum foil individually around the bones.

Step 6Once the coals are ashed over, separate the baskets using tongs. Place drip trays between the two fires- must be large enough to catch all of the drips. Place the cooking grill on the barbecue with the grill handles directly over the fires.

Step 7Place the pork roast in the centre of the cooking grill. Ensure all vents are open and place the lid on.

Step 8Cook for approximately 2 hours or until done to your liking.
Serve the roast with vegetables, or salad of your choice.
