How the team uses it

Straight from their BBQ tips

Prep, pork

Remove the thin membrane on the bone side of the rib. Olive oil as a binder, then the Pork Rib Rub 30 minutes before cooking.

The cook, pork

On a Big Green Egg at 121°C with pohutukawa chunks for smoke, ribs take 2 to 2.5 hours uncovered. Foil wrap when the colour is right, cook another hour, check for doneness: the bone tips should be exposed. Sauce and set on the grill.

Choosing the pork

The team uses Wichita ribs, nice and meaty, the brand they used at Meatstock 2018 to win first place. Swift ribs are widely available if you cannot find Wichita. For pulled pork, a 5 kg plus Boston butt from a good butcher.
