1. Before preparing smoked pork knuckle, buy good quality pork and marinate it. Take all the spices you have at home and rub them into the meat. You can use adjika, black pepper, salt, and garlic. Place the knuckle into a bowl and put it in the refrigerator to marinate. It will take one or even two days for the pork to be ready for smoking.
