The Pulled Pork Thread

[Copelius]

Making my first pork butt tonight for extended family dinner tomorrow. Followed the dude's instructions and rub with a small twist. Did the smoke part on my gas grill (I'm cheap and its all I have) and then transferred to the oven to finish. It will likely reach temp earlier than I'd like so I'll be pushing the 6 hours of resting. 20230721_185200.jpg Freshly ribbed and wrapped last night.
20230722_151515.jpg Placement on grill at beginning. Only one burner was on low at the left side and I used the probe seen in the middle to keep temp OK. It was 115 when I put it in the oven. Sitting 176 right now. Got the oven at 205 trying to time the resting with getting up for choir.

Well that's a different of way of doing things. Did it put out a good amount of smoke? I wouldn't worry about the resting time too much.

You can rest well beyond 6 hrs if you need to. Don't sweat it.

Turned out terrific. Only regret is not doing 2. I don't have a frame of reference as to whether or not the smoke was sufficient. I could definitely smell the wood as it was on the grill.

Yay! Time to buy a real smoker.

Remember, I'm cheap, and the wife is even moreso.

Same here. I bought mine while my wife was out of state. She likes it now.

Getting it to work so well with the grill may have put a nail in my smoker coffin. I can hear it now, "You don't need a smoker when you did so well with the grill." RIght now is not the best time to be trying to get a smoker anyhow. Just replaced my roof and HVAC at the end of June. Our wallet is a bit thin after those outlays.

If this is your first time doing pulled pork, I would suggest putting some aside for carnitas.

I'm willing to part with my 10 year old Traeger for dirt cheap. You'd have to come pick it up though.
