Porchetta - Italian Marketplace Smoked Pulled Pork w/ Q-view

[sqwib]

Sure did.  The GOSM Big Block is the only smoker I own so it gets a lot of work.  I actually cooked at fairly high temps (avg. of 275 or so) as it was an 8 lb. butt that had to be done by 2:30 or so Pacific time.  Set the alarm for 5:30 am, got her on the smoker at 6 and things worked out perfectly.  Smoked with a mix of apple and cherry chunks and kept it in the pan the whole time.  Great stuff all around.

Awesome... I did mine on Frank but was curious as to how well it would turn out on the GOSM

I'm contemplating doing a porchetta using a pork loin.

Perhaps I missed it, but what did you use to flavor the smoke? I'm thinking about a couple lemons and a hunk of rosemary. Thoughts or suggestions?

 

[sqwib]

I used cherry,

as far as suggestions any recipe can be tweaked, I however try to make an effort to try a recipe the original way then tweak from there.
We all have individual tastes and will tweak till were happy, (or the misses) is happy.

Keep us posted

I LOVE porchetta and never thought to make it with pork butt

I believe it's usually made with a pork loin

In fact, I have a pork loin in the freezer with "PORCHETTA" written all over it!
