Jesus that looks good, I’m from guam livin in the states now and have always admired hawaiian food. An 8 hour kalua pork is just as good as an 8 hour smoked brisket in my opinion. I’ll have to try your recipe out man, keep grillin!
The way how we would do it making kalua pork rub a little of liquid smoke and it's would taste like Kalua Pork the Hawaiian Island style cooking thank you for sharing your favorite kalua Pork!🐖👌🏻👍🏼🤙🏼
If You cannot get ti/bananaleaves You Can use any Big, non-toxic leaves. We had a similar custom in Denmark, which is a pit linedwith hot rocks. The Meat would be covered in leaves like he did. I recommend burdock, but have also done it with fern and even grass (not recommended) Then You would fill the pit with dirt again and abandon it for most of the Day.
Awesome! Way to go! Great for parties! It's okay to get your TI LEAVES from the floral shop as long as you wash them first. Practically, all the fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides. Just make sure you wash them as well. Thank you for sharing your style of KALUA PIG! ALOHA!🌺🌺🌺
Looks authentic to me Chris and very tasty. Thanks for the tip about the Ti leaves, banana leaves are easy to find here, never thought to look in a flower shop. One tip I found is to pass the banana leaves over a flame, like your stove burner, and it softens them up so you can work with them easier. I bet the same would work for the Ti leaves. Great cook and I could tell you had a great time in Hawaii
A better way than to use foil to hold it together is use some chicken wire if you can get some leftover from a garden fence or something that way you can still use wood to smoke it instead of liquid smoke because the smoke will penetrate the leaves a little bit because it’s not air right
Thanks for sharing this. It just dawned on me that maybe I could make this on the grill (since I can't dig a hole in the ground). Glad to see it works out well!
Love kalua pork! I have a couple of Ti plants I grew at home here in the U.K. From bulbs I picked up in Hawaii. Not sure I can get hold of banana leaves here though. Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks
Excellent video and recipe Chris! The pork looked fantastic! I can only imagine the great flavor. Got to love the Tappecue! I love mine, and it's about time to put it to use again here soon ;)
Looks beautiful Chris. Soft, tender and above all moist. Slow cooked meat is the best. As an aside, HAVE you had a crack at the tomato sauce recipe I sent you yet?
'𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘦 is pronounced like telling "a lie". it's a natural sea salt with minerals that turn it reddish. 𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘰 (thank you) for the tip about sourcing ti leaves.
Some real tasty looking pork there Chris, the aroma had to be perfection. Great tip on looking to different sources when looking for those leaves. Which Cambro are you using there?
Are the ti leaves really necessary or is that just to add authenticity? Because I could get banana leaves simply by going to my neighbor's house, but ti leaves? I'm not so sure.
Yummilicious!!! I would like to see you make that "Swineapple" one video I saw the guys bacon weave got too crispy and he did not take those eyes out of the pineapple...
KILLER! The wife gave me a recipe that's a bit different and also using pork belly. Hey man where did you get the Banana leaves and Ti leaves? I'm in RB.
The pronunciation of Alaea Salt is pronounced (a-lie), mahalo for the video. also found using parchment paper if you can not get the leaves works well, then wrap that in foil.
any decent asian grocery and even some supermarkets sell frozen banana leaves for cooking - might be labeled goya gotta use your eyes and brain and look for it
How was there not an overload of liquid inside that pouch??? When you smoke a pork butt directly on the rack they usually drip enough to practically fill your water pan in 5 hours!
Literally was thinking how would I make Kailua pork and I didn’t even have to search you were already on my homepage. Suspicious activity but fuck it meat meat meat meat!
my opinion...that was too much liquid smoke for my taste. for that size that looks like 5 lbs, less than 2 tsp would be more than enough...careful, guys when adding hawaiian sea salt, it is *saltier* than regular table salt, so watch as to how much you rub into the pork butt ! here in Hawaii, we also tend to add shoyu (aka: what non-hawaii people call 'soy sauce') by putting a little on it and the rice (which goes hand in hand)...you don't need fried rice to eat with this...white rice is fine, believe me !
you can also make another kalua pork dish with the addition of chopped head cabbage...using the cabbage will lessen the salty taste if you accidentally made it too salty.. this dish is called 'kalua pork and cabbage' and you would find this at food trucks, or restaurants, or diners... you would cook the kalua pork and cabbage in a fryer or wok until the cabbage is soft..add shoyu to taste (optional) ... winna !
one more thing, here in Hawaii, the brand of shoyu that reigns supreme is the locally made brand called 'Aloha Shoyu', not as salty as Kikoman Shoyu...there is a taste difference...

Great job! As we say in Hawaiʻi, "That looks ʻono (delicious)". Mahalo.
Tried this over this last weekend! So good! Great flavor! Thanks for the video Chris!

I'm from Hawaii and the way you prepared this dish is incredible. That looks amazing, keep up the good work. Aloha!
This turned out absolutely fantastic Chris!! Never had Kalua pork, but now I feel I MUST have it!! Excellent!
Larry
I really enjoyed this video.. I grew up with pacific islanders and miss the food!!! Good job !!!
That was a great way to do that, no shovels involved. Very cool, a lot of people will be trying this one.

When i saw the gloves! I thought OJ was cooking!😂😂
Love the show!
Thanks for sharing this. It just dawned on me that maybe I could make this on the grill (since I can't dig a hole in the ground). Glad to see it works out well!
You would be surprised how well it works
You, my Sir are an true artist! Love your videos. Keep 'em comin!
Nice change from traditional pulled pork in the states. Thanks
On my list of to-do's. New gadgets worth checking out. Ya could do this in the oven too since it is wrapped in foil the entire time.
I'm gonna try it
looked like a fun cook and betting it was awesome tasting , great work Chris !
Good job bradda keeping it traditional as possible. Respect that 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽. Aloha
Man that looks perfect
Love kalua pork! I have a couple of Ti plants I grew at home here in the U.K. From bulbs I picked up in Hawaii. Not sure I can get hold of banana leaves here though. Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks
asian markets frozen
Musa basjoo species banana trees will grow in the UK; they're very hardy. Look for hardy tropical gardening groups on FB for info.
WOW... Looks soooo good, Chris!!! Fantastic recipe and excellent cook my friend!
Awesome man !!!!!
oh wow! So tender, that looks bomb!
+BBQGuys.com Thanks for watching
Ballistic BBQ sent me here and I am glad! This looks great!
Sent me here too. Two great sites!!
Excellent video and recipe Chris! The pork looked fantastic! I can only imagine the great flavor. Got to love the Tappecue! I love mine, and it's about time to put it to use again here soon ;)
great video, making this next week. Would this work in a gas grill? or crock pot using the same ti leaf/banana leaf method?
looks good and tasty
Looks beautiful Chris. Soft, tender and above all moist. Slow cooked meat is the best.
As an aside, HAVE you had a crack at the tomato sauce recipe I sent you yet?
+DMSProduktions Not yet but it is on my list to do soon. Thanks
That looks yum! I'd love to try that one day
+FitAnge S Hey Angie, long time no see!
Chris, that looks amazing man! Question: why does the "shiny" side of the Ti leaves go against the meat?
I grow Ti plants at home in UK 🤙🏼👍🏻
awesome video
Gonna try this for sure! Can you do this on a regular grill?
looks yummy..........
Can I use a regular kettle grill if I don't have a Kamodo-style grill?

Way to go Aloha!🍺🤙🏽
No need the tileaf or banana leaf just put in pan cut and put rock salt cover with foil and put in oven for 4-5 hours and all good
great looking pulled pork Chris!
+White Thunder BBQ Thanks for watching
Looks killer!
Thanks for those helpful tips! Just curious, where did you get the top round grill grate with legs?
I would be very concerned about buying stuff from flower shops. Are these sprayed with insecticide or herbicide?
Some real tasty looking pork there Chris, the aroma had to be perfection.
Great tip on looking to different sources when looking for those leaves.
Which Cambro are you using there?
Nice looking pork!
+Aim'em and Claim'em Smokers Thanks brother
Can I just use banana leaves and do it in my Instant Pot?
Sure
Are the ti leaves really necessary or is that just to add authenticity? Because I could get banana leaves simply by going to my neighbor's house, but ti leaves? I'm not so sure.
You can just use banana leaves. The Ti leaves is for authenticity
Awesome video Chris!
+Smoked Reb BBQ Thanks Brian..
Yummilicious!!! I would like to see you make that "Swineapple" one video I saw the guys bacon weave got too crispy and he did not take those eyes out of the pineapple...
very cool man!
Tip: if you run your banana leaves on the stove quickly on both sides, it’ll be easier to work with and pliable instead of brittle and rips easily…
Onoliscious!
I tried this recipe but wit a lea Perrine's Worcestershire sauce and omg! It is so good
My dad cut a barrel in half works the same way to cook
Can't call it "ti leaves" when looking for it at an Asian market. It's called pandan (puhn-duhn).
KILLER! The wife gave me a recipe that's a bit different and also using pork belly. Hey man where did you get the Banana leaves and Ti leaves? I'm in RB.
the banana leaves I got at Zion Market in Clairmont and the To leave I got at a local florist.
+Mother's BBQ thanks Chris!
+Mother's BBQ just got back from Zion in Claremont. they clain they have never carried them but mentioned food 4 less.
Never carried banana leaves? Hmm. Maybe it was Ranch 99 market down the road.
+Mother's BBQ found them at Food 4 Less in Escondido.
Poi, lomi salmon, pipi kaula, ahi poke and chili pepper water on the side please Thank you 🍴👍😁
The pronunciation of Alaea Salt is pronounced (a-lie), mahalo for the video. also found using parchment paper if you can not get the leaves works well, then wrap that in foil.
coldfire05 It shud be a-lie-ya
their on the side all over in the grownd if in Hawaii
any decent asian grocery and even some supermarkets sell frozen banana leaves for cooking - might be labeled goya gotta use your eyes and brain and look for it
Do the leafs add flavor?
Go me a butt smokin away now.
+The Backyard BBQ Show - BBQFOOD4U It does a little hint of the leaves. Thanks Kinger
Yowza!

we no cook kalua pork in the oven that's actually not hawaiian style. its restaurant style
Banana leaves first then ti leaves. Fried rice in not Hawaiian. What a insult to us.
Who is does this HOALE think he is ? Shit looks bomb tho
If pig is being served and it's not made by someone I know I won't eat it
