No need for foil using teh WSM grill. Let more of that mesquite flavor soak in. Wrap with tin foil after six to eight hours because after a certain period of time, more smoke won't help, wrap tight in tin foil so meat steams and easier to shred.

I tried this with a picnic / shoulder roast and was happy with the results. My smoker was running hot at around 300 degrees and so the cook time was only five hours, but I think it turned out fine.

I had been looking for days online for a smoker recipie for Kalua Pig. I have a well used Smoke Vault smoker made by camp chef and couldn't see making Kalua Pig in a crock pot or oven (nothing wrong with that if you don't have a smoker). I can't wait to try this out. Thanks again. BBQ Junkie, thank you so much for this post. I had been looking for days online for a smoker recipie for Kalua Pig.
