As mentioned in an post a couple days ago, I picked up a couple boneless butts at Costco. I am still new and learning and this forum is so helpful. Anyway wanted some pulled pork this weekend so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here goes,
The night before I rubbed down with Jeff's Rib Rub and wrapped in plastic wrap.
After spending the night in the fridge and my fire settled in to 230*, I placed in smoker at 7 am.
Once the Internal Temp hit 165*, I pulled from smoker, wrapped in foil and placed in 240* over to finish. At this point it was about 6.5 hours in the process.
I pulled from the oven at 200* internal temp, wrapped once more with foil. Placed a towel under and over in a cooler and let rest for nearly two hours. When I pulled from cooler internal temp was still 190*+.
I used the finishing sauce that everyone posts about and the Country Fresh Slaw recipe also found here. Piled all high on Whole Wheat bun with a little of Jeff's BBQ Sauce and it was really wonderful. Sorry for no final pics, my Wife and Daughter wouldn't wait long enough for me to take photo. Taking the left overs to my Parent's for lunch today.
One last note, although finishing in oven was convenient, had other things I needed to do, the temp swings in my oven were very inconsistent. I think I will use the smoker from start to finish next time.
Thanks and I hope you all have a great 4th!!
