The Pulled Pork Thread

[hostile]

No it's not.

Of coarse it is.

Cooking pulled pork and sides for 210 on Wednesday. I am officially nervous.

14 butts. That is the max I can fit in my Stumps smoker using the half-size foil pans. Plus a monster batch of DT's baked beans, but I will smoke them before doing the butts and then reheat. I will try to remember to post some pics.

Time to get a bigger smoker!

Don't be so rough on him.

So what are the preferred rubs nowadays? Looking back through the thread a bit, it seems like everyone was in love with Butt Rub, but then there seemed to be a falling away. What has stood the test of time? About how much rub should I be putting on a pork butt from Costco?

I go through so much rub that I buy spices in bulk and make my own using the recipe shown here:

I also like the flavor of the rub as much or more than any commercial rub. But there are lots of great rubs out there, including Butt Rub.

Pro Tip:

Buy your butts at Sam's Club and tell the butcher you want to buy a case. A case = 5 packages (10 butts) and the price per lb. is much cheaper. We needed 14 so they threw in two more packages at the same price. 100 lbs for $109. That right there paid for my annual Sam's Club membership. For two years.

Also doing a 5X batch of DT's smoked beans. You can buy Bush beans by the gallon at Sams.

I think the final cost is going to be ~$2 per person for pulled pork sandwiches, sauce, pickles, onions, smoked beans, and tossed salad. That's crazy.

We do this all the time. Only way to go.

Also we do the same thing with chicken and Tri-Tip. A cryo of tri-tip you can get for $5.99/lb instead of the $7.99/lb they sell them for individually.

How much is in a cryo of tri-tip? Will Costco do something similar, or just Sam's?
