So...I couldnt decide what to do for lunch meat this week, which led to down the dark, dark road that is known as Pulled pork. I have Only ever used this cut of meat to make sausage before, but a good P.P. sandwich(no remarks from peanut gallery(aw who am I kidding, fire away)) is one of my favorites. Being totally clueless on the subject, I simply selected an nice fatty looking 5 pounder from the grocery store this morning(bone in boston butt), and came home and used the search feature. Chef JJ has yet to disappoint, and I dont see that happening anytime soon, so I am kind of following this procedure--- http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/135844/another-pulled-pork-jj --- sorry for the long windedness , but I got it home, unpacked it, slathered with a jalapeno mustard, and then worked jeffs rub into it. Next I wrapped it up and into the refer for the night. I have to work tomorrow, so I will light the AMNPS before I leave, and have my wife turn the MES30 on before she leaves for work( about 6-7 hours of unsupervised cooking). I plan to run it straight through, no foil.

Comments, suggestions, am I a fool?


A shot of the bible


The rub and mustard, nevermind those ribs, they are dinner!


Thats here with the mustard installed! fat cap is down in pic. I will post a couple with the rub later, Im gonna put her in the smoker overnight, so all that I need to do in the morning is light the AMNPS
 
NOT a good idea in my opinion to leave any smoker unattended 6-7hrs while hot smoking, for safety reasons alone.

Not to concerned about the safety, it will be out in the driveway, worst case scenario there is a stained driveway. Electrical system in the house is top notch, being the electrician that wired it! Arc fault breaker would trip if anything got to crazy. I do catch your drift though.

Snapped a shot of it before I stuck it in the mes, its about 30 degrees here tonight, so no problem there, and all I have to do in the morning is light the Amnps.

It smells incredible, the barn looks good, but I'm a little scared of it tasting sooty. It looks jet black, and I had this happen one other time with jerky and my Amnps, not sure if the pellets caught fire in there that time or what. Fingers are crossed, and the butt is foiled, toweled and coolered for the next 1.5 hours. I'm gonna whip up a batch of soflaquer's finishing sauce and wait...impatiently

My fears were unvalidated! It tastes great, bark and all, fantastic! Very moist clear through, the finishing sauce was great! So good I had to come back for thirds!
