Need a idea…

[tpc74]

So out in Indy this weekend helping the race car team again. Had a catastrophic engine failure that ended our weekend early. Headed home later this morning but I’d like to throw something on the recteq for when the wife and daughter get home about 3-4 hours later.

First thought was a small pork shoulder for some easy pulled pork, but not sure I have the time. Any suggestions? I’m thinking for a set and forget type of thing I don’t have to babysit, as I have other stuff to take care of when I get home.

And hi all, it’s been a minute since I was on last!

Do a pork loin

Maybe butterfly the shoulder to spread it out and go hot and fast at °300?
Or a loin?

Bad news on the failure and short weekend

I'm with Jim.Loin or tenderloin would be easy and quick.

I buy unseasoned pork tenderloins, throw some rub on them, they are quick and delicious!

Ribs are a pretty easy deal. Sauce the last hr is about it.

That was my first thought , since you mentioned pork butt . Take it to at least 185 or up to 195 for a sliceable .
3 to 4 hours at 300 or higher should be plenty of time .

Great ideas! Thanks guys! What about country ribs? Could those be done in a short amount of time? I’ve never done them, and really don’t want to do regular ribs today.

Or do they require babysitting?

Good ideas above… you could also always grab a rack of spares, cut into individual ribs and smoke them up!

What about meatloaf if your concerned about time just divide the meat after mixing and do a few smaller loaves

So the meal was country ribs and Mexican street corn salad. I smoked the ribs at 225 for about 2 hours, put them in my braising liquid and covered them up and back on the smoker at 250 for another two hours. They were at 165 IT after the smoke, 205 IT after the braising. Pellets were mesquite.

My braising liquid was about 1 container of chicken stock, half a stick of butter, and a few squirts of sweet baby rays. I rolled each piece in the liquid and then the meaty part down into the liquid. Sprinkled more rub on top.

Looks like a great meal and love it when a plan comes together!

Looks great! We've gotten kind of hooked on country style ribs lately.
What event was it? NHRA?
Usually I can hear them running from my house, but I never heard anything and I forgot all about it....
