- It doesn't get much better than Porchetta! Perfect crackling, tender and juicy meat packed full of flavour..... You NEED to try this Porchetta recipe!
In this video i'm going to show you how to make Porchetta in a Weber kettle!
In this video i'll cover off the below:
- Porchetta preparation
- Porchetta seasoning recipe
- Weber kettle set up
- Cooking times and temperature
And much more!
Here's the porchetta seasoning recipe below:
- 2tbs chopped rosemary
- 2tbs chopped sage
- 6 cloves chopped garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Zest of 1 orange
- Ground fennel seeds
With the porchetta seasoning, I didn't really measure the salt, pepper and fennel seeds. I just gave a nice light coat on the inside of the porchetta.
This was around a 2.5kg pork belly and was around a 2 hour cook.
As pork belly is a fattier cut, I like to take it to a higher internal temperature of around 185F/85c to help render the fat down more.
Definitely give this Porchetta recipe a try! It's a perfect roast to serve all year round!
If you don't have a Weber kettle or any other type of BBQ, then you can absolutely do this Porchetta recipe in the oven!

Made this last night for a test run for Xmas dinner. Have to say it was outstanding. Great work mate on the recipe and method. Super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Ready for Xmas now
Next level ! Congrats on the 100k subs. Well deserved
Thanks mate 🙏
Hi from Newcastle, NSW! Cheers for the inspo Aaron! My wife bought a 1KG pork belly the day you released this video. I had it in the Fridge for 2 days before cooking it up for dinner tonight! AMAZING! Will be doing this again with a larger belly!
Nice mate! Thanks for the feedback!
That is what I'm going to make for Christmas! I love pork belly, it's easier than the others and that combo of crackling and herbs make it so appealing. Thanks heaps. Also really great video, really sharp, like your knives. :)
Thanks mate 🤘🙏
That looks SO GOOD! Cangrats on 100k subs.
Cheers legend!
Epic work! Thanks for sharing
I will be doing this next weekend 👍🏼
Definitely do 🤘
I'm all set to try this cook tomorrow Thanks for the super detailed explanation, your format is perfect.
Most welcome. Enjoy 😊
@@LownSlowBasics It came out perfect, crackling was so light and crisp 🤤
@@ryanhobson7707 great work mate!
Yet again - thank you for this one. My Jaccard arrives today, and hopefully based on your recommendation it works as I have triedd a few witand they turned out to be duds. This looks tremendous and will give it a go soon....cheers Aaron, love your channel.
Thanks mate! Really appreciate the kind words!
Looks amazing will give it a go this weekend
Let me know how you go 🤘
big fan from china，always like weber kettle series，i gonna try it，thank you bro🎉
Cheers mate!
Perfect! I know what I'll be popping in the weber when the wife's away on new yrs!
🤘
Great video once again
Cheers legend!
Super underrated channel, used your methods several times and bang on every time man, cheers from Perth, WA!
Appreciate the feedback legend 💪
I agree - every methed of your i have followed has turned out to be spot on.
So close to 100,000 subscribers mate!
😬🙏
Unreal vid brother!! That porchetta was absolutely first class👌 Gorgeous Bubbles😍
Thankyou bro 🙏
Nice to hear coming from the crackle king!🤴
Total winner!
Another ace recipe. Definately going to try this. Onya
Cheers mate. Definitely do 🤘
Looks good 👍
On the list 🤤
🙌
Just for any newbies out there, a traditional porchetta cut will include the loin. Once the loin (dead centre) reaches 63C all the fat from the belly will be fully rendered. Wouldn't recommend running the temp past 60C on the loin and allow the carry over cook to get it up to temp.
luv yer werk. gonna need to rewatch this video to figure out yer knots.
Great video mate, and perfect time coming into Christmas. How do you find this direct grill method compares to the rotisserie method you previously did?
Pork belly is a guaranteed winner on the Weber kettle. It's the only way we cook it now, as it turns out perfect every single time. Not to mention that delicious smoky flavour that you'd never get in a conventional oven. I use a Stanley knife to score the rind, around 3-4mm apart, as we don't have one of those stabby thingies like you have. Then a light grease and smother with salt.
We like getting some washed spuds with skins on, giving them a light baste with oil, and whacking them in with the roast. Absolutely scrumptious! They are delicious on their own, or you can add butter, herb or garlic butter, or all of the above and sour cream. They also have a gorgeous smoky flavour to them, and the skins are crispy, but not hard.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing that 🙌
Hey bud looking at trying to start out in this low n slow cooking after some advice I love your videos by the way I was wondering if one of those jumbuck kettle bbqs from Bunnings are any good to start with or should I wait and save up for a better one
My family makes something called pernil idk if you know it but I’m gonna use those same seasonings and make it into a porcetta this weekend for Mother’s Day. my first time ever using a charcoal grill. Gonna serve it with steamed yuca and fried plantains. Thank you for sharing this method man.
Most welcome mate. Let me know how you go 🤘
Think I was drunk when I subscribed to this channel & forgot about it.... but you hit the nail on the head with this one, thanks dude! & now I've the rest of your knowledge to steal 😊 But could you recommend which wood to use in your vids, especially with pork. Shout out from Ireland 🇮🇪 keep her lit
Made this one for Christmas lunch! Was awesome. Thanks for the hot tips! The cut off ends are good for some snacks at the 1 hour mark!! :)
My butcher in Campbelltown SA does an epic porchetta. Now I’ve gotta order one for next week 😆👍
🤘
Which butcher is that please - love in Adelaide hills and a bit hard to find.
@@markhiggins3054 Campbelltown meat in the Campbelltown shopping centre on lower north east rd and Vince and Matty at Trafford meats up the road heading towards the Glynde corner opposite arc is good too.
@@chisel83 thanks heaps - I forgot about Trafford. Do you order it before or do they always have it?
@@markhiggins3054 order in advance 👍
Great vid! We've been thinking of doing one of these for a while, perfect timing! What temp are you running the weber at for the cook?
About 220c 🤘
Omg...I trying this too
Definitely do 🙌
Sufferin Jesus !
That looks amazing 👍🏻👏🏻😃
🤘
I am definitely going to try this. Thank you very much. What temp was your Weber set at?
Thanks so much! Around 220c or so.
Hey Aaron, what chimney are you using in this video?
Also for someone wanting to get a kettle style BBQ. Would you recommend the Weber Kettle or the OKJ Blackjack?
The Oklahoma joes brand. Probably a Weber as you can get one cheap second hand 🤘
Love the vids mate keep them up. Whats the cooking temp. Not sure if you mentioned it.
About 220c 🙌
That looks fantastic gonna have to hunt down a decent pork belly to give it a crack
Definitely do!
Greet vid mate
Thanks legend
@@LownSlowBasics no wukkas 🤜🏼🤛🏼
What tempis the BBq set to.
Looks awesome Aaron, does the same style work on an OJ Rambler? Keen to give it a go
Might be a bit hard. But could be done on a rambler
@@LownSlowBasics So in the mean time I have upgraded the Rambler to a Weber, roughly how hot would the bbq have been, not sure I could see it above, TIA
Watched, went out, had to buy a whole pork belly, cut it in half, put half in the freezer and the other in the fridge and so doing this tomorrow (Monday). BTW I fly out to the UK on Wednesday, otherwise, I'd have done the whole belly!
Let me know how you go 🤘
looks so good! can this be done entirely on oven (no rotisserie im afraid :( )
Absolutely!
😋
🤘
Hey Aaron, my charcoal chimney filled with briquettes takes way longer than 10-15 mins to get red hot and ashed over. Probably closer to 30 mins. Whats the trick to getting it lit so quickly? Cheers mate
Hey mate, the charcoal chimney I use helps, it’s shallower but wider. Plus the briquettes I use tend to light quicker than other brands too. I use the Oklahoma joes halftime XL chimney and olive pip co briquettes.
That was unbelievably! What was the temperature inside the Grill? Thanks, greetings Bernd
Thanks mate. About 220c
What temperature were you running the Weber kettle at?
About 220c
What temp was the grill at while cooking?
About 220c from memory
Komado egg vs Webber kettle, what do people prefer to work with?
Both! I use my kamado for the long slow cooks because it’s so easy to set and forget. I prefer the Weber for quicker roasting type cooks.
Deez nuts
If you have money and enough space to have both, then that's what you should have.
Otherwise I'd say you should buy the tool that you're going to use the most.
Great question! I do love a kamado!
Sorry but I didn’t hear you mention the kettle cook temp?
Can you post that?
Thanks in advance.
Looks amazing, definitely going to give it a nudge
Definitely do 🙏
Hey mate, what temp did you have the weber at for this cook? (Going to do it for Christmas lunch)
Looks great but, I’d use a surgeons knot, MUCH easier to tie
I always leave mine in fridge but find I can’t jaccard it after as skin too dry? 24hrs in fridge.
Epic and thank you once again.
Do it beforehand 🤘
