Barbecued Glazed
Pork Roast
SERVES 6
For easier carving, have the butcher remove the tip of the
chine bone and cut the remainder of the chine bone from
between the ribs, a technique called scoring. Look for a
roast with a ¼-inch fat cap; if you end up with a thicker
fat cap, trim it to ¼ inch. For a spicier roast, use the larger
amount of hot sauce.
DID YOU KNOW that the 36" and 48" DCS grills have a
dedicated smoker tray with a direct 3,500 BTU burner
offering a clean, convenient option for grilling enthusiasts?
You can skip making a handmade smoker in step 1 of this
recipe and add wood chips straight to your DCS smoker
tray for low-temperature roasting and smoking your
Barbecued Glazed Pork Roast and more.
1 (4- to 5-pound) blade-end or center-cut bone-in
pork rib roast, chine bone removed
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1½ teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups wood chips
1½ cups ketchup
1½ cups apple juice
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1–2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 (13 by 9-inch) disposable aluminum pan
1. Pat roast dry with paper towels. Using sharp knife,
cut ½-inch-deep slits, spaced ½ inch apart, in crosshatch
pattern through fat cap. Combine 1 teaspoon sugar, salt,
pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in small bowl and
rub all over roast, making sure to rub spice mixture into
crosshatch. Wrap roast with plastic wrap and refrigerate for
6 to 24 hours. Just before grilling, soak wood chips in water
for 15 minutes, then drain. Using large piece of heavy-duty
aluminum foil, wrap soaked chips in foil packet and cut
several vent holes in top.
2. Remove cooking grate and place wood chip packet
directly on primary burner. Set grate in place, turn all
burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot and wood
chips are smoking, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner
on high and turn o other burner(s).
3. Clean and oil cooking grate. Place roast meat side
up on cooler side of grill, with rib bones facing re. Cook,
covered, until meat registers 90 to 100 degrees, about
1 hour.
4. Meanwhile, whisk ketchup, juice, vinegar,
Worcestershire, mustard seeds, hot sauce, and remaining
sugar in disposable pan until sugar dissolves. Place
disposable pan on grill and transfer roast to disposable pan
with glaze. Spoon glaze over roast. Continue to cook on
cooler side of grill, covered, basting roast with glaze every
15 minutes, until meat registers 140 degrees, 45 minutes
to 1¼ hours.
5. Remove disposable pan from grill; tent roast loosely
with foil and let rest in glaze for 30 minutes. Transfer
roast to carving board and pour glaze into serving vessel,
skimming o fat as needed. (You should have about 2 cups
glaze.) Carve roast in between ribs into thick chops. Serve,
passing glaze separately.
