Instructions
- The most important part of this recipe is having a pork rack with the skin still on. For this cook i'm cutting up a big cut of pork that has been dry aged for several weeks.
- If you don't know how to get this or get this cut out of your pork you can ask your butcher and show him this video. In the video i'm showing you how to to get this cut out.
- When you are left with the pork rack with the skin still on it's also important that you have a skin that is dry. Get a paper towel and pad it dry or leave it padded dry in the fridge overnight before your start this recipe. In my case the skin was already dry due to the dry-aging proces.
- Before we actually start roasting you have to fire up the BBQ with a medium amount of charcoal in your KJ.
- Make my delicious Classic BBQ Bacon JamClassic BBQ Bacon Jam
BBQ Sauer Kraut
- Get a Stainless steel pan on the grill grates and let it come up to temperature.

Crispy Pork Rack Rotisserie
- Find the center of gravity in your pork so you can determine where to put your rotisserie in. Then put the skewers on but wait with tighten them up.
- Take around a tablespoon of fine salt in between your fingers and season up the sides of the pork rack with salt. Do the back as well.
- Split the charcoal in half and move them to 2 opposite sides.
- Place the joetisserie on the Kamado Joe and set the rotisserie in.
- Set a aluminium tray in the center of the grill.
- Check if the porkbelly is in the center as mucht as possible. I'm talking about the meat here. Don't mind the bones on this check.
- Stick in your thermometer in the side. Don't penetrate te skin!
- Turn your Joetisserie on and let it rotate with the lit closed for around 3 and a half hours.
- Open the top vent to the first stripe and close the lower vent to around 2 finger thick. Let it run at a temperature of a 160 degrees celcius.
