I picked up a 6lb pork butt on sale the other day, and decided Sunday would be a good day for pulled pork.
I gave Porky a trim Saturday night before rubbing, wrapping in plastic wrap and HD foil, and chilling in the fridge until morning.
Into the smoker at 240-260. I normally smoke butts...
Spatchcock for sure. It cooks faster and more evenly. When you reach the target IT, I like to flip the bird over and place it on a scorching hot grill to crisp up the skin. That, and everything Richard just said!
I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe it has lighter fluid added to it. I can't stand that stuff. I'm with B. Fire up the grill and throw some burgers, brats, etc. on there if you just want to get rid of it. If it affects the meat too badly, you're better off tossing it and getting something...
Awesome looking pork! I set both probes on my thermometer to 203, so I know it hits that temp in two places. I get consistent results. I always give it the poke test just to be sure.
Looks delicious! I'm diggin' that Frankenstein plate. I've got a tenderloin in the freezer that I need to get on the smoker soon. I always use apple and usually some hickory when smoking pork.
Thanks for all of the advice, everyone. I'm thinking I'll throw them on the grill over some raging coals and hickory. We all like our steaks rare to medium rare. So this seems like a good option to try. I do worry about it coming out rubbery if smoked. I might play it safe this time and forego...
Thanks! I neglected to mention that I did give it the poke test in multiple areas. It passed with flying colors. I appreciate the feedback and info. I'm not at all opposed to smoking unwrapped the entire cook. I just often don't have the extra time to wait out the stall. I'll be sure to try it...
It looks like hot and fast is the way to go. The carne asada tacos sound awesome! I'll have to run it by the wife and kids and see what the consensus is; fajitas or tacos.
My wife just picked up some flank steaks. I was thinking of grilling them for fajitas. But, me being me, I wanted to know if I can smoke them as a stand alone piece of meat. Is this worth doing? Or should I stick with a hot grill and make fajitas?
