    Hot & Fast Pulled Pork Question

    May be a bit late but ill try to help: my recommendation would be to get a few hours of smoke on it Friday night before bed, then wrap it and put it in the oven on low overnight. You can hold the meat in the oven or in a cooler with towels for several hours. But to directly address your...

    Storing Pulled Pork

    What those guys said already. But to clarify, I think you should cook it fully and pull it. It's such a pain in the butt to thaw large pieces of meat. If you pull it vac pack it or ziplock it and freeze portions like that, then you're only a few minutes in hot water away from dinner.

    Brisket for one?

    Do it on the weekend and invite some people over? Shoot, that's what I do and I'm married. My wife thinks its so I can justify loading up the smoker. It kind of is, but leftovers freeze really well...

    A HUGE Shout-Out to Jack Link's!!!

    My old squadron is one of the airborne firefighting (MAFFS) units. I don't know if any if that jerky made it to them, but good for you to make the request and then the delivery. I'm quite certain it was much appreciated by the firefighters.

    storing smoked pork butt

    I'll second (or third) what everyone else has said. Vac pack with no extra liquid. I've started using the leftovers for some interesting experiments. I've made carnitas and tamales using leftover pulled pork. So that's another reason (for me) to not add extra liquid.

    Hatch Chili Meatloaf

    Anyone have any luck ordering green chiles online? I live in Arkansas now and you wouldn't believe the looks I get when I ask about green chiles at grocery stores around here... Would love to try green chile meatloaf but I'm going to have to find some first!

    Smoking Pork and Brisket at the same time

    I do pork and brisket together quite frequently in my vertical smokers. I honestly don't think it matters what's on what shelf but aluminum pans underneath each chunk of meat is a good idea. Plan some extra time-on my Bradley I can fit 2 pork shoulders and a brisket. When I fill it up with that...

    Newbie smoker-Snack stick help

    I made venison snack sticks and ran a pork shoulder through the grinder to mix with it. I have also made breakfast sausage with feral pig-again, I mixed some store bought pork shoulder with it for a little more fat. Bottom line, just like the guy above me said-a little fat helps the texture...

    What if my butt is done too soon?

    I know for some the late night wake ups are part of the process to be enjoyed, but we have an infant son-I'm all about making it as simple as I can. I'm happy to get 4-6hrs of smoke then wrap in foil and put in the oven on low overnight -when its done it goes in a cooler to rest until chow time.

    Recommended way to thaw Pork Shoulder (or other smoke fodder)

    I was in a nearly identical situation a few weeks ago where I'd put meat in the fridge to that early in the week, but it wasn't going to be defrosted by fri night. I put the meat (cryovac sealed) in a cooler and filled it up with water. I did it on Thursday night and by fri morning, it was...

    There's also nothing wrong with smoking "hot and fast". I've been experimenting with that myself and the results have been pretty decent. The beauty of smoking meat is that even the mistakes are pretty delicious.

    Any Welders/Metal fab individuals, Central AR, OC, DFW, Memphis areas?

    I started down this route, but I don't know how to weld/have the equipment. I ended up building a pine box and lining it with aluminum flashing. It's working well so far. Lots of right answers, and if you're set on a RF, best of luck. I didn't want to spend the money - for $250 I've got more...
