For Barbecue Sauce:
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute 3
minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced to 2 2/3 cups, stirring
occasionally, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
(Sauce can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
For Dry Seasoning Rub:
Mix all ingredients in small bowl. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Store
airtight.)
For Barbecue Mop:
Mix all ingredients in bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
For Pork:
Place pork, fat side up, on work surface. Cut each pork piece lengthwise in
half, forming total of 4 long strips. Place pork on baking sheet. Sprinkle
Dry Seasoning Rub all over pork; rub into pork, covering completely. Cover
and chill at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
Place wood chips in large bowl. Cover with cold water and let stand 30
minutes. Place handful of torn newspaper into bottom of charcoal chimney.*
Top with 25 charcoal briquettes. Remove upper rack from barbecue grill.
Place chimney on lower grill rack. Light newspaper and let charcoal burn
until gray ash color, about 30 minutes.
Open 1 bottom grill vent. Turn out hot charcoal onto 1 side of lower rack.
Using metal spatula, spread charcoal to cover approximately 1/3 of rack.
Remove 1 cup of wood chips from water and drain (keep remaining chips in
water). Scatter over coals (avoid using too many wet chips, which may douse
the fire). Fill foil loaf pan halfway with water and place on lower grill
rack on opposite side of coals.
Place upper grill rack on barbecue. Arrange pork, fat side up, on upper
grill rack above loaf pan. Cover grill with lid, positioning top vent
directly over pork. Place stem of candy thermometer through top vent, with
gauge on outside and tip near pork (thermometer should not touch meat or
grill rack); leave in place during cooking. Check temperature after 5
minutes. Use top and bottom vents to maintain temperature range between
225F. and 250F., opening vents wider to increase heat and closing to
decrease heat. Leave any other vents closed.
After 30 minutes, use technique described above to light an additional 15
charcoal briquettes in same charcoal chimney set atop bricks, cement or
other nonflammable surface.
When cooking temperature of barbecue falls below 225F., use oven mitts to
lift off upper grill rack with pork and place on heatproof surface. Using
tongs, add half of hot gray charcoal to bottom rack. Sprinkle about 1 cup
drained wood chips over charcoal. Reposition upper rack on barbecue with
pork above loaf pan. Brush pork lightly with Barbecue Mop. Cover with lid.
About once an hour, light more charcoal in chimney and replenish charcoal
and wood chips as necessary to maintain temperature between 225F. and
250F.,
