    First attempt at pulled pork

    You can check it with a fork, insert and twist, also check with a tooth pick which should go in like it butter. Can also twist the bone to see if it would pull out easy. I don't cook my brisket to 205 but time is a big factor if not using temperature.

    First attempt at pulled pork

    I did one for fourteen hours once. Thats when I learned to wrap and use higher temps. I cook with a sliding temp range now. Starting around 300* and lowering through out the cook to finish around 225 or lower.

    Need help on reverse flow smoker.

    Need help on reverse flow smoker.

    If your removing your current stack why would you not reinstall it at the other end. Square stacks don't work quit as smoothly as round ones. If your smoker calls for an 8" round stack you should use a 8" square one the same length. Exhaust swirls as it travels through a smoke stack not...

    Ha e I been grinding wrong?

    I did use a 5# grinder which had 1/4" holes in what they called a medium plate and only ground once, never a problem. Now I use a new 12# grinder and their medium plate has 3/8" holes. I figured close enough so I used it. I will be getting a plate with 1/4" holes (6MM) i didn't like the larger...

    Best way to keep pulled pork fresh for 6 days?

    I use chicken cooking bags. Put pork in and squeeze air out. Tie knot at end of bag then lay flat and even meat out. That will chill faster, warm faster and you can heat it in the same bag.

    Reheating Pulled Pork + Sterno

    I put my meat into chicken or turkey cooking bags. smooth them kind of flat after I tie a knot and add some juice. Flat bags chill faster and reheat faster. I use a microwave to heat and move the meat around with my hands while warming. Also a good way to keep track how warm its getting. Then...

    Does adding stuff to a brine....

    While it is relatively easy to brine with salt and sugar its difficult to get onion and garlic in high enough concentrations to taste. I don't bother with anything but salt and sometimes sugar.
