    Green Mountain Grills

    I have had my GMG Daniel Boone for two years and love it. I was advised by a couple of people not to go with Traeger because of their customer service. I’ve had a couple of opportunities to call GMG customer service and have been very impressed each time.

    Question about Smoking baby back 2-2-1 method

    I feel a little foolish because your asking me if I put cider vinegar on them tweaked my memory. I did spray olive oil on them about every hour and before wrapping them to keep them moist per Jeff’s suggestion. That must be what happened.

    Question about Smoking baby back 2-2-1 method

    I did the two hours unwrapped and then after doing the next two hours wrapped is when I noticed the white bubbles or blistering on the side facing up (meaty side). I put some sauce on them for the last hour unwrapped. Even when they were done one still had a bit of white texture on top.

    Question about Smoking baby back 2-2-1 method

    This is about the 3rd time, but the first time seeing white bubbles on 2 of the 3 racks after taking off the foil at the end of 4 hours. Is that just a normal occurrence of fat bubbling to the surface. It was a surprise to me.

    5 hr. Pulled Pork cook. Stall at 200 degrees?

    Thanks all for the replies. Well, the larger piece finally reached 206 degrees and it was moist and tender. Perfect. What is this “probe tender” thing you guys talk about? I know about pulling bone away to check for tenderness. Thanks

    5 hr. Pulled Pork cook. Stall at 200 degrees?

    I decided to try Jeff’s 5 hr. cook for pulled pork at 300 degrees. ( I too was tired of starting at 6am and not reaching meat temp of 205 until 8pm.) I had two chunks of pork butt about 4 and 5 lbs. I followed Jeff’s directions and the smaller chunk reached 205 in about 41/2 hours but I couldn’t...

    Best commercial buns for pulled pork sandwiches?

    I just stumbled upon ciabatta sandwich rolls by Seattle Baking Company and they have been just perfect for me. They are a little bigger and flatter than some ciabatta rolls and do not fall apart with sauces.

    Best commercial buns for pulled pork sandwiches?

    Interesting that you mentioned ciabatta bread. I made great turkey sandwiches with ciabatta but thought they may be too chewy for pp. Maybe I should try them.

    Best commercial buns for pulled pork sandwiches?

    I have seen a great recipe for homemade pretzel buns for pulled pork that I will try down the road. What works best from the grocery store that won’t get soggy and crumble?

    Smoked pulled pork...first time. Question.

    I probably wasn’t as clear as I should have been. It was recommended to start the cook at 180-190 degrees until you go through the stall and the temp of the meat hits 165 degrees. Then you turn up the smoker to 220 until the pork reaches 190 degrees when it’s done.

    Smoked pulled pork...first time. Question.

    Lol. My wife and I paid about $120.00 for the introductory grilling/smoking class that involved cooking ribs, pulled pork, brisket, vegetables, etc. They gave us a CD with recipes and instructions. The recommended temp for pulled pork in the smoker was 180-190 degrees. In fact they warned not...

    Smoked pulled pork...first time. Question.

    I bought a Green Mountain Daniel Boone smoker last fall right after taking a 5 hour introductory barbecue course and enjoying it immensely. I have done ribs three times and made a batch of barbecue sauce twice. All went well. I recently decided to try pulled pork but on a small scale the first...
