Hello all!  Had a nice beautiful sunny Southern California weekend so I decided to try and smoke my first pork butts ever on Saturday. Came out pretty decent but I made this spicy cole slaw that just complimented the pork perfectly. Totally unreal! I also did a St Louis ribs think on Monday which came out better than Lucille's BBQ....but that really doesnt say much haha 


Prep work.  Cherry Dr Pepper + Italian Dressing Oil strained of all the spices + a hearty tablespoon of rub.  Mix the reserved strained spices from the Italian dressing with mustard, a little Cherry Dr Pepper and coateded the pork with that.  Finished with some more rub.


After 5 hrs of Apple/Hickory smoke


My third Pulled Pork sandwich with spicy slaw. 

Ribs


3 hours of Apple/Hickory smoke and ready to be slathered with the good stuff and foiled


Finished product (used a modified 3-2-1 method to compensate for the smaller smoker size)
 
I love doing a smoke with all kinds of stuff in there.  Yours looks wonderful!  Yummmm!

How bout the recipe for that spicy slaw?

Hey!  It was 2 bags of cole slaw and pretty much everything to taste from there.  I don't really like heavy mayo based slaw so I added just enough for my taste.  From there, I added 1 heaping tablespoon for freshly minced garlic, sriracha, vinegar to balance out the mayo taste, a little splash of lemon for some brightness to the flavor, pinch of salt and lots pepper.  Again, it was all to my taste so adjust as necessary.
