Steps:
- Begin by trimming your pork shanks with a sharp knife.
- This means removing any stray bits of meat, fat, silverskin, and bone from the outside to make the shape more uniform, potentially requiring a rinse under cold water at the end just to get any stray particles off.
- If desired, you could also cut off any skin left on the outside, though this will crisp up during cooking.
- If you do leave it on, make shallow cuts in a diamond pattern along the surface to create more surface area for browning and seasoning to adhere.
- Once trimmed, pat the shanks as dry as possible.
- Using the dry ingredients listed above, mix up a spice rub for your pork.
- Next, paint down your shanks with yellow mustard using a food safe brush, ensuring that each one is thoroughly coated in a thin layer.
- This gives the spices some extra help in sticking to the surface and provides more flavor as well as moisture.
- After slathering them with mustard, begin patting your seasoning into your pork shanks.
- Rub as much of the spice mixture into the meat as you can, making sure to work it into the cuts you made on the skin earlier and into any crevices in the meat.
- There's nothing worse than an under seasoned bite of otherwise delicious barbecue.
- Additionally, while the recipe calls for uncured shanks, you can get similar results with cured pork if you cut the salt by around half.
- When you've seasoned the pork as much as reasonably possible, wrap them in plastic wrap and set them in the fridge for at least twelve hours and up to a full day to give the spices time to penetrate the meat.
- Thirty minutes or so prior to cook time, take your shanks out of the fridge to give them a chance to warm up to room temperature.
- Blot the surfaces dry of any moisture that might have collected during this time, reasoning with a bit more spice if needed.
- You should also soak your wood chips in hot water if you're using them instead of chunks.
- Head outside and fill your smoker with plenty of charcoal.
- Light it and get the fire roaring before closing the lid and letting it burn down.
- If you're monitoring the temperature, you'll want to get things to around 300 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal smoking conditions.
- When the temperature is around where you want it to be, toss on some extra coals, add your wood, and fill the water tank, letting the heat and steam build up inside for another few minutes before you introduce the meat to the heat.
- With your smoker ready, you can confidently place on your meat and get to cooking.
- As always, smoking is a long cooking process, so don't expect things to be ready for quite some time.
- Your target temperature is around 190 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part of each shank, so you can expect a wait time of around four hours at minimum.
- During this time, you'll want to monitor the amount of charcoal, wood, and water in your smoker, adding more of each as needed.
- Keep the temperature consist during these changes by adjusting your air vents, too.
- Additionally, to help add more flavor and keep the meat moist, spritz it down with some apple juice or apple cider every half hour or so during cooking.
- Work quickly to avoid letting out too much heat or smoke, though.
- After the meat hits that target temperature of 190, remove it from the smoker and wrap each shank in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped shanks into one or two clean towels and store everything inside a large cooler.
- This provides the perfect resting environment for your meat where it can finish cooking and reabsorb some of its delicious juices, making for a more tender and more flavorful bite.
- It also helps to keep everything piping hot after the hour or so it takes for a proper rest.
- The resting process is always a good way to get yourself ready for a great meal, so don't wait any longer.
- Dig into your delicious hot smoked pork shanks and taste the fruits of your labor in all their glory.

- In a large, sturdy resealable plastic bag, combine the flour and chile powder with 1 tablespoon each of salt and pepper. Add the pork shanks, one at a time, and shake to coat thoroughly.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until shimmering. Add 3 of the pork shanks and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the browned shanks to a deep, heavy casserole. Wipe out the skillet and brown the remaining 3 pork shanks in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; lower the heat if necessary. Add the pork shanks to the casserole.
- Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic to the skillet and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Pour the wine and vegetables over the pork. Add the stock, rosemary, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Tuck the pork shanks into the liquid so that they're mostly submerged. Cover and cook over moderately low heat for 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Turn the pork shanks every 30 minutes to keep them submerged in the liquid. Transfer the braised shanks to a large, deep platter, cover and keep warm.
- Strain the liquid, pressing hard on the solids; discard the solids. Return the liquid to the casserole and boil until reduced to 4 cups, about 20 minutes. Spoon off the fat, pour the pork gravy over the braised shanks and serve.
