  • Place the pork collar in the middle of the grill, between the heat sources, and reduce the temperature from 250 to 190 degrees Celsius (482 to 374 degrees Fahrenheit). Grill the pork collar at 190 degrees Celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit) using indirect heat for 2.5-3 hours or until the core temperature reaches 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit).

  • Remember to turn the pork collar 180 degrees a few times during the cooking time to ensure even heat distribution.
    after turning the meat
  • When there is about 1 hour left of cooking time, or when the core temperature approaches 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit), brush the pork collar with the barbecue sauce. Repeat this process a few times to build a nice glaze on the meat.
