3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your potatoes in a vegetable grilling basket and place it on the grill. Cover the grill and allow the potatoes to roast for approximately 45 minutes until fork tender, turning them periodically with tongs.
Remove your potatoes from the grill and allow them to cool.
Slice your potatoes lengthwise. Use a ⅛ or ¼ tsp. measuring spoon to scoop the flesh from the centers of the potato halves, leaving ¼” of potato around the edges and bottom.
Combine your smoked pork, dry rub, sauce and cheese in a medium mixing bowl and blend well. Stuff the centers of your potatoes with the smoked pork mixture.
Return your potatoes to the grill, placing them cut side up on your cooking grate. Cover the grill and allow the stuffed potatoes to cook for 5 minutes until heated through. Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce and serve immediately.
