Wanted something different but still off the smoker for dinner tonight. Decided on Mississippi Pulled Pork Roast open face sandwiches on toasted homemade ciabatta bread, topped with smoked provolone.

Took an 8 pound bone in pork butt, rubbed with one of my more savory rubs from my line, and smoked it up until 170°. Then transferred it into a foil pan with 2.5 cups chicken broth, a jar of pepperoncinis with the juice, and a packet of ranch dressing mix. Covered with foil and put back onto the smoker until 205°. Rested about 30 mins, shredded the pork, sliced up some ciabatta, toasted it on the griddle with some butter, stacked it with pork, ladeled on some of the juice, topped with smoked provole and took a torch to it to make it nice and melty. Damn delicious! 😋

Fine looking meal right there 👍🏼
 
That’s a lot of flavor to pack into a pork butt. The sandwich looks really good. Using the juice on the bread must have added a lot. Nice job.
 
Oh my! That plated pic on the ciabatta bread is epic! Really finding some great stuff with these pork butts. Just happened to grab one on sale today @ $1.49/lbs. Now I want that open face Sammy!
 
Thanks everyone for the positive comments and to whoever put this on the carousel. 👍

Going to reheat the leftovers tonight on the Flat-Iron griddle with some of my fajita seasoning added to it and make tacos. Takes care of the remainder in the fridge as well as Taco Tuesday. Two birds, one stone.
