Introduce the method for cooking pork for large groups, called the barbecue pause button.

Prepare the pork by making a crosshatch pattern on the fat cap with a knife, going about an eighth of an inch deep.

Season the pork with a layer of salt, pepper, and garlic from above to ensure even coverage.

Apply a second seasoning mix that includes chili powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Light the grill using a Kamado Joe connected grill, filling the firebox about 20% full with charcoal.

Set the grill temperature to 300°F using the digital thermostat and close the dome to allow it to heat up.

Monitor the temperature as it rises to the desired level.
