The Pulled Pork Thread

[CJF]

I have cooked butts countless times. Never gone over 12 hours.

Do you foil?

i don’t until 195 plus. I’ve had shoulders go 18 hours or so before. This was the worst. I finally pulled them off the smoker, foiled and put in the oven for the night. I figure this a smoker version of sous vide. So frustrating.

I have. Many times. I have used different thermostats and in different places. I also cooked the short ribs in the exact amount of time as expected. I’m up to172 and 170. Progress.

What? That can’t be right. You need to check your smoker temp control.

Two butts went on the smoker last night at 11:45 pm. One is 169 degrees and the other 167. Pork butt can be a fickle SOB. Luckily, at about 2:00 pm seeing it wasn’t going to happen, I put short ribs on the smoker. Those made a wonderful dinner.

Just finished putting a couple of butts on the smoker. Planning to serve the pulled pork with croissants at an Independence Day dinner. Nothing says "Merica" quite like croissants.

Did you ever find a cig?

No. However, my pulled pork was so good that it won the hearts of the masses.

Four butts injected, rubbed, and ready for the smoker at 2 a.m. Life is good.

Anyone got a cigarette?

The meal turned out pretty good. The homemade BBQ sauce went really well with the pulled pork and in the beans.

I smoked two shoulders for my son's baptism lunch. They were at 190 degrees about 11 hours before they would be served. I pulled them from the smoke, wrapped them in foil and put them in the oven at 200 degrees. Four hours before serving time they were at 202, so I FTC'd and pulled at eating time. I saved the renderings and poured them over the pulled product (they did dry out a bit), and it was perfect. A little slaw and Head Country BBQ sauce (there's a Clack joke in there somewhere), and it was great eating.

I'm bringing dinner to my neighbors. I asked them what they wanted and he left for a minute and then came back with a frozen rack of baby backs. Since my smoker was going anyway, I picked up a couple butts. They cooked faster than expected but came out great. I just chopped about 2 pounds and put them in the beans that are on the smoker with the ribs. There will be some good eating tonight.

I love pulled pork tacos. Good idea to go straight to the tacos and bypass the sandwiches. I should try that next time.

Solid first post. I look forward to many more!

Just pulled a whole shoulder off the smoker. I had it cut to it to get both picnic and a boston butt. 20 hours to get to 195. At a $1.29 a pound I can put up with the poor temperament of pork.
