Wow SQWIB this is one of the bast post i saw.  so  organized   with all the equipment    . 

and what a feast you cooked my Friend well done .

lovely girls all 3 of them probably they said when you took the photo dad stop it. i also got 2 girls.

thank for sharing your feast with us
 
Getting the bags in that slit was the first hint, because I discovered it was harder to get them in that slit after the first 10 or 15 sealings. Hopefully you won't have that problem, but if you do, just shut it off awhile to let it cool. Then see if the bags go in the slit easier.

Thanks again for such a great thread!!

Thanks Bear.

Haven't had any issues other than sometimes its a PITA getting the bags in that little slit.

We just got a smoker last week, and I keep looking all throughout the internets for tips/recipes, etc.  I think my first smoked pork shoulder just might be your "Philly Style", SQWIB. Looks so, so good. It's so great that you took the time to show this to us all.

I have been showing the oldest how to prep meats and trying to get my other daughter and son more into this type of cooking

Will do and I gotta laugh at how much bag is lost for it to seal, tell me that wasn't a marketing strategy.
 


hell of a job


Thank you

Thank you, and I am honored that I am your first post,

Just watch the salt, you may want to half what I have in the recipe or use a low sodium broth, especially if your cooking for any one watching their salt intake.

You may want to beef up the pepper a bit too, I usually go light on the pepper for my family but if it was for a party I would have nearly doubled the pepper.

I just wanted to update that your Philly Style pork shoulder has been our project since Thursday. Rubbed it before bed Thursday, got up at 2 freakin' 30 in the morning today to start everything...

And it was SO WORTH IT.

We didn't make a finishing sauce, but we had some leftover homemade BBQ sauce that we used on it. I need to think about what kind of finishing sauce I would even like, LOL.

All ready for inhalation:

My Pleasure.
 
WOW SQWIB!

That looked great! I can't wait to get my big smoker together so I can smoke up a feast like that (if it is possible)!
 
man, awesome thread sqwib!  this may be what I try for my first butt....that finishing sauce looks sooooo good...you've made me very hungry! lol
 
I was searching the web for a recipe that mimics DiNics roast pork or pulled pork sandwich and found the actual recipe. What I don't understand about the recipe is that it says to pull the pork butt ay 160. From my experience with pork shoulder...it's not pulling at that temp. have you seen this recipe that I'm talking about? I definitely am going to follow your recipe step by step because I have been craving this sandwich since I first had it in Philly this summer. Great post. I knew this would be the place to find the answers I've been looking for. Again, epic thread!

I think you may be talking about Tommy D's Roast Pork sandwich. This recipe is not a copy cat of Tommy's Pork Sandwich (I hope I did not mention that it was anywhere)

And when they say pull it, they mean remove from the heat, I am guessing.

The recipes I tried here were recipes I have tossed around in my head for a while, the Philly Style was basically an Italian spice hybrid type mix, I wanted a change from the traditional (I use that word loosely) Paprika, Brown Sugar rub so many folks on SMF use.

The Goat cheese recipe was discussed with a chef when at a luncheon on the Battleship New Jersey, I picked his brain about the stuffed pork loin that he served and that's where I got the idea for the sandwich.

The other recipes are just generic toppings.

As far as the Roast Pork goes;

You can try a roast pork using a pork loin, make sure to brine for 48 hours and cook to 140° (safe Internal Temp is 145°), save drippings, foil then cool in refrigerator and slice the next day, simply amazing.

Your brine is the most important step to getting a flavorful thinly sliced pork, if you skip this step, the results are not the same, trust me! You will know your brine was effective when you take a  slice from the center, pop it in your mouth and your eyes roll in the back of your head like when a shark eats.

If you mess up, no worries, toss it in a steamer pan with some dressed up gravy and you are GOLD!

You can try this if you want to try the pulled pork, I have done similar to this with great results in my Dutch Oven.

Dinic’s Italian Style Pulled Pork Sandwich – The Best Sandwich EVER

makes six sandwiches

Pulled Pork Ingredients

1 4-Pound Bone in “picnic” Pork Roast

1 Cup Broth

Brine:

5 Rosemary Sprigs

1 Fennel Bulb, Thinly Sliced

1 White Onion, Thinly Sliced

3 Celery Ribs, Chopped

6 Garlic Cloves, Diced

3 TB Apple Cider Vinegar

2 TB Fennel Seeds

Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

Pulled Pork Instructions

Combine all the brine ingredients with the pork shoulder in a bag and massage it like you mean it for about two minutes, then refrigerate overnight. Combine the contents of your brine bag, and the broth into a Dutch oven or large covered pot. Roast in the oven at 275° for about 3 ½ hours or until the internal temperature 190°, remove from the oven and uncover and allow to rest for about 30 minutes before pulling. Remove the roast from the pot and the drippings and broth on low, re-adding the pulled pork as it surrenders itself to you. Keep it warm while you prepare the broccoli rabe and assemble the rest of your sandwiches. To roast the peppers, place them directly on your stovetop burner until charred, once charred let them sauna it up in a Ziploc bag until you can easily peel their skins off. I intended to use Cubanelle Peppers.

Broccoli Rabe Ingredients

2 Bunches of Broccoli Rabe (Rapini)

2 Shallots

6 Garlic Cloves

2 TB Red Pepper Flakes

½ Cup Olive Oil (Give or take some)

Broccoli Rabe Instructions

Wash and rough chop the broccoli rabe. Finely dice the shallot and garlic. Boil about 1 ½ cups of water in a sauté pan, add the broccoli rabe until it turns dark green and then remove it from the heat. (It will only take a few seconds and you’ll want to shuffle the pieces around to make sure they all get cooked). Once you have pressed most of the water from the greens, warm the olive oil and add first the shallots, then the garlic, then the greens and red pepper flakes, give a quick stir and then cover for ten minutes, only checking it if the pan starts making apocalyptic threats.  You want the greens to get extra soft, once they are done, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Sandwich Ingredients

Italian Sweet Roll

Sliced Sharp Provolone

Italian Pulled Pork

Broccoli Rabe

Roasted Peppers

Sandwich Assembly Instructions

Slice the roll lengthwise, line with sharp provolone. Pile in Pulled Pork and spoon over a little extra broth. Add in the broccoli Rabe and Roasted Peppers. Eat immediately without hesitation or regrets.

Thanks so much for all the info. The recipe I was originally talking about is more like the pulled pork recipe you just posted. DiNics sells
Two kinds of pork... The roast pork from the loin and the Italian style pulled pork from the butt. You have gone me so much to try haha
