How to cook pork crackling (indirect cooking)

The secret to perfect pork crackling on your barbecue is to cook at a very high temperature at the start to
blister and bubble the skin, then finish cooking the pork through at normal roasting temperatures.
Preheating for pork crackling:

®
Whenever you use your Spirit for roasting, it is
important that you preheat the barbecue first,
with the lid closed. Like a convection oven, the
barbecue should be hot when you put your food
in to achieve the best results.
To preheat your Spirit for roasting pork crackling:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off
position and check that there is sufficient gas in
your bottle (for LP models).
Preheat Pork Crackling (10 mins)
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light all three main burners according to the
instructions in the owner's guide.
5. Turn the centre burner to LOW and close the
lid. Preheat the barbecue with the two outside
burners on HIGH and the centre burner on LOW
for 10 minutes.
Cooking pork crackling:
Pork Crackling (20 mins)
1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Leave the outside burners on
HIGH and turn the centre burner OFF.
2. Open the lid and place your pork directly on
the grill above the centre burner and cook for 20
minutes.
3. After 20 minutes, turn the two outside burners
to TWO NOTCHES GREATER THAN MEDIUM,
which is the roast setting.
4. Cook for the remaining estimated cooking time.
Roasting
Note: Your Spirit will perform at its best when
Roast setting
you let natural convection do its work under
the lid. Try to resist the temptation to open the
lid unnecessarily. Your food cooks faster, more
evenly and with more flavour if you leave the lid
closed as much as possible. As your food will cook
using indirect heat when roasting, there is no need
to turn the food during the cooking time.
