Time to discuss the best pulled pork in Melbourne. Third Wave BBQ has their smokers running almost 24/7 to cook our pulled pork for around 12 hours to get it to be the softest meat you can experience.
Pulled pork is created when you cook pork low and slow for a long period of time. Third Wave BBQ, in this case, cooks it for at least 12 hours in our custom in-house smokers which also infuses it with a delicious smoky flavour. The process of cooking it low-and-slow rather than FAST AND HIGH (which is a traditional or Australian BBQ Style) transforms the pork into a soft meat that allows you to pull it apart with your fingers… hence the name “pulled pork.”
Why is Third Wave BBQ one of the best places in Melbourne for Pulled Pork?
What we do is we not only cook it low-and-slow but it is also cooked in spices. We serve the pulled pork in a couple of delicious ways. At the time of writing this, we have a few favourite ways of serving up pulled pork.
