Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into 1
- inch cubes
- 2 cups hickory wood chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
- 2 cups Carolina BBQ sauce (ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, and paprika)
- 1 lb smoked sausage links
- 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 1 cup coleslaw, prepared or homemade
- 1 cup baked beans, prepared or homemade
- Pickles, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or smoker to medium heat (around 350°F). Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before use. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for the Carolina BBQ sauce. Reserve 1 cup for serving and brush remaining sauce onto pork cubes and sausage links.
- Place soaked hickory wood chips directly on hot coals or in your smoker's smoke box, ensuring an even distribution of heat and smoke.
- Grill the pork cubes until they reach an internal temperature of 195°F, approximately 20 25 minutes. Grill sausage links until they are cooked through and have a nice char, about 8 10 minutes. Brush with additional sauce as needed during cooking.
- Assemble the Snack Platter: Toast buns on the grill, then layer coleslaw, pork cubes, more Carolina BBQ sauce, sausage links, and finally a scoop of baked beans. Add pickles to taste.
- Serve immediately with extra napkins and enjoy!
