Picnic Roast

[carney]

Started a smoke last night for a pulled pork dinner.  I am looking for a 202-205 degree target temp. 

I got a Pork Shoulder 8.39lbs @ $1.34/pound

I rubbed it down with a Bassi BBQ rub I make and decided to smoke on apple chips.

35 degrees outside

Smoker set to 225

7:30PM - smoker started, apple chips added

8:00PM – Picnic Roast place in the smoker, at 225 degrees

8:30PM – Added apple chips.

9:30PM – Added apple chips.

10:30PM – Added apple chips.

2:45 AM – Temp Alarm went off, smoker temp at 199 degrees.  Smoker was off.  Unplugged the smoker and plugged it back to regain power.  I think the extension cord is not making a proper connection.

9:00 AM – Insert the temp probe.  Internal temperature 178 degrees

It was served up with some homemade BBQ sauce, and coleslaw.

That sure enough looks like pulled pork.

How long was your rest, and did you wrap it for the rest?

 

[carney]

I let it rest for about 15 minutes.  Mostly because I find it too hot to pull.  I use to kitchen forks, I do not have bear paws.  I also did not wrap it.
