BBQ shoulder of pork

[rivergirl]

Have just put a shoulder of pork in a brine bath. I tend to change the herbs, spices and liquids to marry in with whatever I am thinking of doing with the leftovers . As I am going Chinese this time this is my brine mix.
Cider
Orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sea salt
2 tablespoon. Chilli sauce
Grated ginger
2 bay leaves
2 star anise
1 tablespoon. Five spice
1 teaspoon chilli
Mix and cover the pork . I will leave it in the fridge until Tuesday. Injecting the shoulder with the brine as well.

This was the pork being tucked into the primo for its long cook. I wiped it down and the dry rub is my Cajun mix with extra chillies,5 spice and 5 anise. I am cooking down the mop sauce hoping to smoke it up a bit. It's a bit painful sitting out here tonight as the smell is divine!!
