I understand that this is a big statement, but this may be the best pork I’ve ever made or ever had. Then again, may be it is something different than the same old pork I’ve made a thousand times for catering and competition. Either way, my wife and I just licked our plates clean.
The Injection
- 1/2 cup of pineapple juice
- 1 T Dizzy Pig Jamaican Fire
- 3 good shots of Pickapeppa Sauce
The Rub
- Dizzy Pig Jamaican Fire - applied liberally
The Wrap
- 1 cup of Apple Cider
- 1 T Dizzy Pig Jamaican Fire
- 3 good shots of Pickapeppa Sauce
- A little somethang-somethang (aka Secret Ingredient)
- Topped with brown sugar
Smoked on the Big Green Egg at 300 with apple wood and lump for about 6-7 hours flipping occasionally. Wrapped at 175 so as to have a good crust. Pulled at 190 and set to rest for one hour. The money muscle was mine.
The Rice
- Bacon rendered with half yellow onion, two cloves garlic, 1/2 habanero pepper (de-seeded and de-viened)
- Basmati Rice
- Black Beans

Wow, this is even better for lunch on day 2. The pork has a great kick. The rice is pretty mild, but the flavors have melded with the rice. I wouldn’t change a thing about the pork.
Next time, I’ll use a whole habanero to 2 cups uncooked rice along with a jalapeno or two. Great flavor, but very mild. Hab’s scare me a bit, especially when I’m making something that my wife will be eating as well.
I’ve secretly been expanding her heat tolerance by tossing a few red pepper flakes to sauces, ground beef, etc. I add a little more at a time so she doesn’t notice. Kind of like placing a frog in boiling water. He jumps out. But turn up the heat gradually overtime and you’ve got a pot o’ frog guts. .
