Looks great! The taco shot is amazing! I usually use a chicken stock under my butts for my finishingsauce combined with the pork drippings. I may just have to add some ACV next time.
...I usually default to hickory, sometimes adding some mesquite. Maybe I've become lazy but hey, it's what I like. Many think JJ's finishingsauce is very good. After trying it, the flavor profile for me wasn't something I cared that much for. Instead we use the defatted drippings which are...
...and mesquite+oak, and am looking to pickup cherry, pecan, and maple when I can find it locally). Thinking about just apple for now.
Finishingsauce to make? I see the JJ recipe in SMF.
How to store for next day use? (I have a vacuum sealer on order, in case needed)
How to reheat? Sous Vide...
Ribs or butts don’t need mustard if one puts sufficient paprika (nearly tasteless, pretty red and pretty sticky) in a rub.
Some mustard is critical in a finishingsauce, because it is an emulsifier and will keep the fat from separating in pulled pork.
That does sound interesting with higher temp. Mine had a good bend to them, but were only at about 155-160˚F at the end (hard for me to measure with baby backs and the bones).
Makes sense.
I had it loosely wrapped on the counter, for about 15 mins.
I definitely had some good smoke - raising...
Ok I’m still a newb on this site, maybe it’s a setting but I don’t see your sig and I do want a look at that dipping sauce. Is it a setting or because I’m on my phone or just me? ( it’s ok, I know sometimes… it’s me)
...tuna. Tuna cooked beyond med-rare in the center smells and tastes fishy to me and I'm not a fan of "fishy".
I've been working on a "finishing sauce" to add some extra sauce to teriyaki chicken thighs Sam's club sells seasonally. The sauce on them is a bit sweet which is not usually my jam...
Fat is flavor, and sure enough it'll moisten up your leftover PP.
But I still prefer to use,
@soflaquer finishingsauce
Or
@crankybuzzard pulled pork gravy (sauce).

Total cook time was around 3.5 hrs and happy with the first run.
Rack on the left needed more time that I had but the other was great.
Painted with some MM Hog sauce while resting on the board.
Decent smoke ring for a shortened cook and nice smoky flavor from the pecan chunks.
I was pleased...
...for an 8 lb pork shoulder. I was overall very pleased. It had an OK bark, but tasted great (I really liked Jeff's BBQ sauce and JJ's finishingsauce I found on this forum). We had a great meal, and I vacuum sealed two large portions and reheated with sous vide at later dates and it was...
Good luck, you've got this! I've had my Traeger 575 for about a year and it was the easiest thing to use (especially after smoking on my Lang)!! The most strenuous part of owning the rig is keeping it clean (I wash the grates and vacuum out the entire smoker to clear it of pellet dust when I'm...
...apple juice and added more rub every 2-3 hrs to build up bark.
Went about 16 hrs, no moving them around. No wrapping. 4 butts all finished about the same time 195 degrees. Tender and moist. Bark was sweet, spicy, cruchy. Big hit at the lunch.
Pulled them and added SoFlaQuer's finishingsauce.
When serving over time.... like at a party, try adding a finishing rub. Take your favorite rub and give it a super fine grind, like powdered sugar. Then it melts on contact. You can have a light sauce on the ribs, but it's better to have warmed sauce on the side for guests to add themselves...
I do this all the time when pulled pork goes on sale. I smoke 3-4 butts then pull them, make up some of JJ’s finishingsauce and mix it in. Seal them in vacuum pouches. Reheat in boiling water and I always have JJ’s sauce to mix some more in after I boil them to make it juicy again. I’ve frozen...

Placed into smoker at 05:30. Took roasting pan, mixed together all the ingredients for civilsmoker's finishingsauce, and placed pan into smoker at 05:37. Inserted two probes into pork (from each end, into thick section, away from bone) at 05:40.
