Going to try pulled pork tomorrow, I’ve got a shoulder of pork and it’s got about half inch of fat and skin on one side. So do I remove the skin and as much fat as possible or do I keep it on and cook fat side down? Seen both versions online…. What’s people’s thoughts?

I always remove the fat when doing pulled pork.

As above, remove the fat. A shoulder joint has plenty fat in it anyway. The fat on the outside i only ever leave on for crackling. The fat layer will also stop your rub penetrating the meat as much.

Pretty pleased the way the pork turned out but the star of the show was the crackling!

Well the weekend is upon us and the weather is set fair so is anyone trying anything post worthy?
Ive had a bit of a spend up at Farmisons.co.uk so I’m going to try a Picanha joint, reverse sear method. Watched a few YouTubes so I’m confident I’m gonna ace it! ?

James Martin's Saturday kitchen STV, last week he did a large Rack of Ribs that looked delicious.
He boiled them 1st in salt water +[ I think ] then into an oven, finally barbequing them with a home made sauce.
They looked absolutely fantastic .(y)

1st BBQ of the year, just the basics of burger and sausages, and fish for the vegetarian.

Has anybody ever done a whole fish on the BBQ? I wonder if it worth a go. Maybe a trout or sea bass.
