Smoking the Roast

Light up the coals: Fill the charcoal basket in the Pit Barrel Cooker with charcoal and light it. Wait until the coals are ready before adding the olive wood.
-
Add Wood Chunks: Once the coals are ready, add a few pieces of olive wood chunks on top of the coals. This will intensify the smoky flavor of the roast.
-
Place the Roast on the Grill: Remove the roast from the refrigerator and place it on the Pit Barrel Cooker’s grill grate.
-
Cook the Roast: Close the lid and let the roast cook for about three hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Cut and Mix: Remove the roast from the Pit Barrel Cooker and cut it into planks. Mix the planks with restaurant-style salsa. Ensure that the meat is evenly mixed with the salsa.
-
Double Wrap and Cook: Place the meat and salsa mixture in a double layer of aluminum foil. Return it to the Pit Barrel Cooker and cook for another two hours.
