Pork Roast

After three years, I've finally discovered the rotisserie on my grill. Last night I tried a whole chicken. It came out pretty good, but a little salty. Today I tried a pork roast and I really enjoyed the flavor.






2 lb pork roast
olive oil
1/2 Cup Apple/Grape Juice
1/4 Cup White Wine
1/2 Cup Water
Dry Rub
Drip pan for grill

  1. Start the grill
  2. Prepare the roast
  • Wash the roast and pat dry.
  • Rub roast with olive oil
  • Sprinkle dry rub generously on roast. I usually make my own dry rub, but I cheated today...I used DennyMike's "Sublime Swine" dry rub.
  • Slide the roast onto the rotisserie split rod
  • Place roast in the grill
While the roast is cooking, make the dipping sauce. I also used this to baste the roast. In a small pot bring the wine, juice (I used white grape juice), and water to a boil. Once it boils, take it off the stove and gently pour it over the roast into the drip pan. This can be used to baste the roast every 30 minutes. As the liquid evaporates, it gives the roast added flavor, and it keeps the roast moist. Cook it rotisserie style until an instant read thermometer registers 160. Let the roast stand for 15 minutes before slicing into it. Pour the juice from the drip pan into a small bowl.

Smoked Brisket

My nephew Dante has been asking me to smoke a Brisket. For weeks, I've been hearing, "Uncle, when are we going to smoke a Brisket...
