That. Is. Gorgeous.
Would you give a bit more detail please about the method? Time, temperature for both stages of the cooking?
It was not very sophisticated, but carefully planned.
1. Check weather report for next 10 days, and day of party.
2. Deep cuts into pork and brush seasoning into cuts, and marinate for 48 hours.
3. Freeze pork for 48 hours.
4. Vacuum bag pork.
5. Sous vide pork at 141 F for 12 hours, 145 F for 8 hours and finish at 151 F for 8 hours. Refrigerate.
6. Night time outside temperature was 51 F, cold smoke pork for 6 hours.
7. Day of party, low temperature pork in BBQ with smoke tube 175 F? 6 hours. 200 F for 4 hours, finally 500F 15 minutes.
8. Pour boiling water over large ceramic platter to make platter hot, then plating and serve pork.
