British Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls on Arteflame

Introduction

There’s nothing more satisfying than slow-grilled pulled pork, infused with smoky BBQ flavor and served in soft rolls. Using the Arteflame grill, we’ll achieve exceptional searing on the center grill grate at 1,000°F before gently bringing the pork to perfect tenderness on the flat cooktop. Follow this recipe to create irresistibly juicy pulled pork rolls, entirely cooked on the Arteflame.

Ingredients

• 1 pork shoulder (about 5 lbs)
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 cup smoky BBQ sauce
• Soft bread rolls
• Coleslaw for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins and light the paper.
3. Let the fire build and allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the pork shoulder

1. In a bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
2. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.

Step 3: Sear the pork

1. Add butter to the center grill grate.
2. Place the pork shoulder directly on the center grill grate and sear on all sides, about 2 minutes per side, to lock in the juices.

Step 4: Slow-cook on the flat cooktop

1. Move the seared pork shoulder to the outer flat cooktop griddle.
2. Allow it to cook slowly, turning occasionally, for about 3-4 hours until tender.
3. Once the internal temperature reaches 195°F, take it off the grill.

Step 5: Pull and serve

1. Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes.
2. Shred the pork using two forks.
3. Mix in the smoky BBQ sauce.
4. Serve in soft bread rolls with coleslaw.

Tips

• Remove the pork from the grill when the internal temperature is about 180°F as it will continue cooking after removing.
• Keep the pork on the outer edge of the flat cooktop for even, slow cooking.
• Use butter instead of oil for a richer sear on the meat.

Variations

1. Spicy Chipotle: Add 1 tbsp chipotle powder to the spice rub for a smoky heat.
2. Honey Glazed: Brush honey onto the pork during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
3. Asian-Inspired: Use hoisin sauce instead of BBQ sauce and add sesame seeds.
4. Classic British: Serve on a brioche bun with apple chutney.
5. Carolina Style: Replace BBQ sauce with a tangy vinegar-based sauce.
