Hey Fisher I just made pulled pork from a picnic last weekend. It was a 6.5 pounder, smoked it for about 4 hours with cherry and lump at 220-230 then wrapped it up (roaster pan, covered, with some mop sauce), put it back on for 2 hours at about 240. Pulled it off and it sat in a cooler for 6...
I didn't know about the foil trick the first time I made ribs...they came out way tough. Have been using foil since then.
BTW, did you not take them out of the foil and let them firm up in the smoker for 30 min-1 hr? I always do that, I like having a bit of a "crust" on there :)
These are some...
OK I suck about taking pictures but this is how it looked after I pulled it out of the foil and got ready to start shredding it. Fell apart as I was transferring it so it looks ugly as sin :) Nice smoke ring, looked great...
I did, will post a pic tomorrow (don't have the phone on me and getting ready to go to bed).
But- MUCH better luck with it this time than last time.
I bought a 6.5 lb "picnic", covered it in dry rub (my favorite is Kroger brand "pork" grilling seasoning- don't even bother trying to make my own...
Thanks fellas!
I shoulda joined a place like this a while ago- there's a fair bit I want to learn and no place better to get it than from the people that have done it!
The picnics and half picnics were a bit smaller, I don't think I need an 8 lb shoulder, but the 5-6 lb picnics looked good and had a nice slab of fat on them.
I feel like I'm full of questions in this thread, but anyway...
Let's say I make the pulled pork the day before the aforementioned...
What's the difference between a "picnic" shoulder and a regular shoulder?
I was looking at Wal Mart just a few minutes ago...so much variety. Boneless, picnic, half picnic, regular shoulder...
Weeelll...I was going to make some for a get-together at a friend's house, he said he wanted to make some pit beef, but I don't want to buy an 8 lb shoulder if it's not the main thing being served. So, not sure if I'm actually going to make it right at the moment or not, if we have nothing going...
I've been to a place in Pittsburgh PA (Doublewide Grill) where they brush their Carolina sauce (vinegar based) on their ribs and caramelize it...Myyy God I have got to try that. You don't even want to add extra sauce to the ribs for fear of covering up the flavor!
I bet you're right and it is a "loin," I probably didn't look at the label closely enough!
I was there last night they had a few shoulders out...swear last time I bought one of them I got it for relatively cheap, the ones they have cost as much as ribs ($3-something a pound for an 8 lb...
Hey guys, I have a chargriller duo with the added on smoker box. Love it, but the charcoal grate in the smoker box is looking rough from the high temps, plus too much charcoal falls off the edges.
Was curious as to what you guys have done to improve the charcoal basket. I have a sheet of 16...
How well does this stuff work?
Wanting to make some pulled pork this weekend, was at the store the other day and didn't see any shoulders but they had some good priced tenderloins that were around 5 lbs.
Yay or nay?
Now granted I'm no expert, I've done about 6-8 racks of ribs so far and this method has always treated me well on my Chargriller Duo:
I take the ribs out of the fridge, add the dry rub and throw them in the smoker as soon as the temperature stabilizes around 225-230 degrees.
Smoke for 1 hour...
Thanks Gary, you talking about 205 internal? I will probably try to get it started early in the day and let it go all day long and see how it does, and go from there.
What do you think about the straight wood vs. charcoal thing? Am I better off to save my wood after a few hours of smoking and...
Hey everyone! New guy here, I'm from northern West Virginia, just semi-recently got into smoking.
My wife and FIL got me a Chargriller Duo for my birthday about a year and a half ago and I've been loving it. Have mostly done ribs on it so far and everyone has loved them. I work with a guy that...
