The Pulled Pork Thread

No Sam's Club near us. Used to be, but it closed.

Ha, I'm lucky we even have stores here. We do have a Smart and Final. Very lucky to have that.

Confession. I get the costco two-packs but never trim, skewer, or tie. Sometimes I can set it on the grill just so, and it stays in place. But the extra effort to carefully tuck away the loose ends never seems to yield noticeable results for me.

I only cut off the thickest pieces of fat. Tucking and skewering takes an extra 10 seconds or so - so not much effort. Maybe next run I'll just throw it on and see what happens. Especially if I'm just cooking for family.

Just putting a pork roast in the smoker for lunch tomorrow.

I roasted one in the house today. At 160F, I pulled it out and double wrapped it in heavy-duty tinfoil. It made it much juicier.

The roast is on a rack inside my large roasting pan. I just put foil over the pan and put it in the inside oven on 225. The roast is up to 126 degrees right now.

Looks great! My wife and I thought we'd make a quick trip to Costco yesterday and pick up a brisket and pork butts for the freezer, along with a couple of other things (not tp). When we got to the parking lot, the line outside extended from the door to the far south end of the store, and maybe farther. I suspect they were just letting x number of people in at a time. We turned around and went home. Nothing says social distancing better than standing in line with hundreds of others.

In my experience, one butt feeds 12-15 people - conservatively. Count on 50% shrinkage. Pork is cheap and excellent as a leftover, so I typically plan big numbers.

Depending on how much you are doing, I like to cook ahead of time and vacuum seal and then reheat on the day of the cook in boiling water. Works great.

is the move to pull before vac sealing? just finishing the 170* two hour rest period and we overshot dinner (plan b worked great, though) so have a full 7lb butt to seal.

Yes. Pull before sealing. Add a little of your juice from the foil if you have any.

second, i have a firm testimony in lebowski's pulled pork recipe. truly idiot proof, and i get to take credit for something that's delicious and cheap.

Our Costco is also selling pork butts with the bone in. Hallelujah! This has been a long time coming.

I forgot to mention this. A couple of weeks ago I bought the Costco two butt pack, fully expecting to have the boneless ones. On the morning of the smoke, I was scrambling looking for bamboo skewers to close the flaps together. But oh my joy when I opened the pack and found they were bone in!

Second OG’s review of Jeff’s recipe. This is the third time I’ve used it. It truly is foolproof. We’ve done tacos, nachos, and mac and cheese leftovers.

Fun fact: the first set of stone tablets Moses had was actually the dude’s pulled pork recipe.

Love that stuff. So many good things you can do with it, too.

I can see that. The Israelites were def not ready for the higher law of the pork.
