It was the best Kalua pork we have had outside of Hawaii and the real Imu.

Day prior to roasting:
Scar fat side of pork butt
Rub with Hawaiian Sea Salt
Tie up tight with cooking string/twine
Wrap with butcher paper, place in foil pan (use two pans) in fridge overnight.

Smoking day:
remove pork from butcher paper, place back in foil pans with 1/2″ water.
Smoke pork butt in smoker using Mesquite pellets at 225 – 250 degrees for 6 hours.
Remove from smoker, flip pork over, remove bottom foil pan, cover pork and pan with foil and seal tightly as possible. smooth out foil against pan. Please put pan with pork into 2nd foil pan (helps keep the moisture in).

Place back on smoker for 3 more hours at 250 – 300 degrees, pork should be at least 190 degrees when done.

Turn off smoker, let pork rest for 15 minutes.

Scrap off surface and excess fat before shredding up the pork in the drippings to moisten all the meat. We then drained off the drippings in a colander and saved the drippings. Placed the shredded pork back in the foil pan an served.

Again, it was the best Kalua pork outside of Hawaii.

Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.

The cultural center is one of my favorite places on the island. I’ve seen HA 6 times and it gets better every time.

Soon I will return home and visit again. Well as long as I don’t get corona virus. I think I’m good.
