I am historically NOT a fan of BBQ pork. Raised in Texas and NM, ranchers taught me that pork was for breakfast. I am trying to learn to like it and am trying to learn to do it well.
I apparently screwed up. And need to know what I did wrong. I see all of these pull pork videos online and...
Started a couple of boston butts last night on my 18.5 WSM, and had plans for a top round to join them in the morning. I was a little lazy last night, I did not prepare the beef until the morning. Lit chimney @ 10pm, temp stable @235* with applewood, water in the water pan, and butts on by about...
I wanted to smoke a standing rib roast for New Years Eve dinner, so I went to Costco a few days earlier and accidentally brought home a lot more meat than that. Since I was taking some time off from work for the holidays, I decided to spend a couple of days smoking a lot of the meat to freeze...
My family (7 adults and 2 kids) is going to Blue Ridge for an extended weekend, and we've divided meal duties amongst different family members. As fun as it would be to run my 18.5 WSM at our cabin rental, I don't think it would outweigh the pain of traveling with it in a Prius. I decided to...
Hi gang, got some butts going and they're "looking" fabulous. I'm close to the 4 hour mark (20min to go)and I'm only at 113* on the smaller one, and 108* on the bigger. I'm not going to hit 140* in that safety zone. My concern is that I injected and this is dragging. The smoker has been at...
Boston Butt (Pulled Pork @ 265° Smoker Temp)
There are many ways to Smoke Pulled Pork, But I don’t like to do overnight Smokes, so since this Butt was 9.2 pounds, I figured I’d try to get it done for Supper (about 4 to 5PM).
Knowing I could easily “hold” it if it finishes to early, I got up at...
Hey SMF Crew,
After my initial couple of smokes after getting my WSM, I did a couple more over 2 weekends to line up with the beginning of the NFL season involving PP and ribs, and they caused a couple of questions to pop up in my head, so I figured I'd ask the gang on here, and throw the...
Have a big event coming up and want to make pulled pork for about 150 people. Questions I'm wondering are:
1. How much meat do I need? Heard 1/4 lb up to 1/2 per person. Which is it? With this kind of quantity that's a big diff.
3. Have a traeger select pro and am concerned if I can fit...
so, I started smoking/cooking for potlucks at work. Now, I have other departments asking me to do this for them. I have pulled pork down to a good place. I make coleslaw and potato salad pretty good too.
What should I charge for the pulled pork? I get two 11 lb Boston Butts for $23.00. It...
Hello smoking gurus! I had a half day today with my daughter, and I don't have the kinda time that I would like, but I'm thinking this will work. I have a 4 lb pork butt roast that dry-brined with my own rub for 24 hrs, and have enough time (already going) to do 4 hours in the smoker with A...
Hi,
I am looking to cook both a brisket and pork shoulder at the same time. I am aiming to have them ready to server around 5pm and won't have a lot of time then to be dealing with them as I will be hosting and BBQing burgers and sausages as well.
Each cut of meat is 2-2.5Kg (4-5lbs) and...
Hello All!!! New to the board and have a few questions. I’ve searched the forum best I could and haven’t quite got all of them answered. So please bear with me here....
First off I will be purchasing the truck this week barring everything goes accordingly. We will cook the basics both breakfast...
Hey all,
I’ve got a pork butt in the smoker that is for tomorrow’s dinner and was wondering if anyone had tips for reheating it? I figure I’ll pull it tonight and save the juices to add as I heat it tomorrow so it doesn’t dry out in the oven. I would have just made it same day, but the in laws...
There are many ways, and all of them can give great results. One of the reasons is that pork butts are very forgiving. Here is the recipe I usually pass on to those first starting with a smoker. The results are both predictable and repeatable. This recipe has never failed to delight who ever...
Good morning Wisconsin,
My brother and I are spooling up for a restaurant space, we have farted around making central Texas style bbq for a couple years now and thought we would give it a go.
We are currently running (1) 500 gallon homemade offset stick burner and (1) 1000 gallon homemade offset...
Hi all, I'm new to the forum but have been lurking for a bit.
Second smoke and I decided to try some pulled pork. I've had 2 five pounders going for about 7 hours and I seem to be stalled at 155. I want to to foil but don' want to do it too soon. However, I've been at 155-158 for over an hour...
Searched the forum and didn't really see any mention of it. It's definitely a southern thing (kinda like the Alabama white sauce). I make my own which closely resembles a place called Bunyuns in Florence, Alabama that is famous for it.
I don't really have a recipe, kinda just do it by adding...
Divisional Round Weekend in the NFL meant smoking some pork for dinner on Sunday. I ended up going with 2 racks of baby backs and a small picnic pork shoulder. Picked things up Saturday morning, rinsed, trimmed then applied mustard and rubs. For the ribs, I used a Clubhouse Chipotle Mango 1:1...
Hello,
please take few minutes and answer the survey on pulled pork. It has questions on all aspects of the process, from meat preparation to serving. I think it will be great to see how different paths people choose and whether there is at least single step where majority agrees on the...
Hey Guys and Gals,
Experience: I've been smoking for a little over a year and have done 7-8 shoulders/butts in that time, along with every other cut of meat known to man :) So not a total newbie, but lacking the experience of many of you "experts" that I rely on so often.
