Preheat your grill to 350°F.
Pat the pork roast dry and remove any excess fat from the meat.
“French” the rack by cutting out any meat and fat from in between the bones and scraping them clean (see recipe tips).
Use butcher’s twine to tie between each bone to give the roast a uniform, log shape. This will help it cook evenly.
Coat the meat with olive oil and season with the BBQ seasoning.
Place the pork directly on the grates over direct heat. Sear the meat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and lightly charred.
Move the pork roast to the indirect heat side of the grill.
Add the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10–15 minutes.
When the pork roast reaches 120°F, start to brush on the spicy bourbon sauce.
Continue cooking and brushing on the sauce until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
Remove from the grill and allow it to rest for 15–20 minutes. Remove the butcher’s twine and slice into chops to serve.
Recipe Tips:
To remove the last bits of stuck on meat from the bones of the pork, use the back of your knife. This will give you a beautiful final product.
