    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    Today is smoke three for me.  Got my butt on the counter - taking the chill off from being in the refrigerator all night. I vacuum sealed it with a dry rub coating.  My plan is to have it in the MES 40 by 10AM - going to try 225 temp and using Mesquite chips. (I have a nice Cabernet to enjoy...

    Try some small foil cookie sheets from the grocery store - when done with the smoke toss (or clean). That will keep the juices separate - you can also put a cookie/cake cooling rack in the pans, and the meat to be smoked on the rack, which will allow the smoke to penetrate the whole slab of meat.

    I'm thinking about Pork Havana for my second smoke - going to start to marinate the Boston Butt in MOJO for a few days while the Sweet Italian Sausages thaw in the refrigerator.
