    Asian-Inspired Pulled Pork Butt

    I am lucky enough to have a father-in-law who has lots of fruit trees on his property and lives in the central valley of California where there are lots of orchards.  He supplies all of my wood for smoking just based on what trees are being replaced.

    Asian-Inspired Pulled Pork Butt

    I'm sure you could, but I like having the drippings all mixed in with the meat as is.   They are pretty flavorful from the rub spices.  But if you do try something with the juices, post it up and let us know how it goes!

    Asian-Inspired Pulled Pork Butt

    Thanks for the great feedback. papagreer, I've been wanting to make my own 5 Spice, but I didn't have a spice/coffee grinder to spare.  Now I do.  Thanks for the recipe! I forgot to mention that my buddy at whose house we had the New Years Eve party came up with a great serving idea.  In...

    Asian-Inspired Pulled Pork Butt

    Sorry it has taken me a while to post the Qview.  I actually added some brown sugar to the meat after I pulled it because it didn't have the right sweetness.  Not sure what I did differently. but it came out fine in the end.  Here are pics in chronological order: Rubbed Down and ready to smoke...

    Smoked Coffee

    Cheers to experimentation, even when the results are horrendous.  After all, someone had to be the first to say, "you know, I bet this meat would taste good if I cooked it for a long time over this wood fire..."

    Smoked Coffee

    I think the cold smoked mango salsa is a great idea.  Smoked tomatoes make great salsa and pasta sauce, why not smoke the mangoes.  But yeah...another thread.  ;)

    Smoked Coffee

    So I smoked some coffee this weekend.  It was Trader Joe's Smooth and Mellow blend (which we drink everyday) smoked for 1 hour over nectarine wood with heat provided by mesquite lump charcoal. Conclusion:  Gross.  I will never do it again.  I would not recommend it.

    smokin' for the 4th

    Damn, now you made me want to make prime rib.  We are planning on smoked salmon and tri tip, but if I find a nice prime rib today, that may replace the tri tip. Enjoy.
