|description=Cooking a large 1kg+ Pork pork shoulder joint on our coal fired barbecue was easy with a bag of instant heat BBQ coals
}}

I thought I would make an attempt at cooking a large 1kg+ [[Pork shoulder|pork shoulder]] joint on our coal fired [[Barbecue|barbecue]] using instant heat bags of barbecue coals.

The venture was very successful, although next time I will cook the [[Pork shoulder|pork shoulder]] even longer by adding some normal coals before the instant heat coals run out.

A bag of instant heat [[Barbecue|barbecue]] coals last for about two and a half hours before they 'burn out'
