Our first ever seen, smelled and eaten pulled pork Q view

[treegje]

Yes you read it right
Meanwhile as you know,pulled pork is not eaten here in belgium
but by the many posts here on the forum,I went for it
This link has helped me a lot
http://smokingmeatforums.com/forums/...ad.php?t=57139

The problem is that I can not compare it with nothing
but it was super

First I ask the butcher for a piece from the shoulder ,but there was no bone in 2,15 kg = 4,75 pound




I rubbed him with my universal rub



in the refrigerator for 14 hours
and 1 AM in the smoker,smoked with hicory







The temp has hung for 2 hours at 68 C = 154 F ,it was best that I already had read that this could happen
at 9 AM 76 C = 169 F wrap in alu foil



back on the smoker until internal temp of 94 C = 201 F
10:30 AM
wrap it in a couple bath towels and put it in a cooler

00:15 PM still 88 C = 190 F



pulled with 2 forks



my burger sandwich with pulled pork





Now I do have one question, it is normal that you have lost so much weight
started with 2,15 kg = 4,75 pound
and ends with 1,32 kg = 2,91 pound that is 38% lighter

My whole family has enjoyed it
it is certainly not the last time, it was very nice

Thank you all

Yes it is normal to lose that much weight. Looks like you had great success! Next time you will have to experiement will different finishing sauces to you can try the different styles of pulled pork that are out there. Job well done.

Hi Treegje
Yes the weight loss is normal and it sure looked good - One question I did have is what was the red sauce you put on the sandwich? Hope it was BBQ sauce LOL
Nice job!!

Great job on your first pulled pork!

 

[fire it up]

Congrats on your first Geert, looked great!
Did you use any finishing sauce or just a touch of BBQ sauce?

 

[miamirick]

looks great, why you start at one in the morning?

 

[meateater]

Geert, you rocked that pork!

Nice smoke ring and looks very tender.

 

[autoferret]

Looks great! if i hadn't eaten a "messy pig" from 4 rivers smokehouse for lunch i'd be thawing some pork for a sammy right now after looking at those pics! nice smoke ring too! try spritzing the meat to get a thicker bark on the meat for next time!

Great looking " Belgium Butt"!

 

[flyfishjeep]

Great Job Geert! You will have to start a pulled pork revolution in your area.

 

[rbranstner]

I still can't belive there isn't any PP in Belgium. You could open up a BBQ joint and make a mint!!! hahaha

 

[captsly]

That was some awesome looking pulled pork there!! Next time try it with a little cole slaw on top of it on your hamburger bun....

 

[bassman]

I'm giving you

for a beautiful smoke.
