Pork-tastic pulled pork, Canadian bacon, pork hocks...(Qview of course)

[cdn offroader]

Hey everyone,

Doing up a pulled pork butt for dinner tonight. Following the basic pulled pork from the forum and SoFlaQuers finishing sauce and a bit of home made BBQ sauce. Probably make a side of slaw as well and get some good dinner rolls.

Covered in Cajun seasoning, and smoking with a hickory apple blend

And finally, a nice loin that will be turning into some CB, also into the brine. Looking at doing peppered, maple glazed, plain and maybe Cajun flavor.

So the hocks are finally done brining, pulled them last night, and dried them in the fridge. Forecast is calling for snow and freezing rain as far ahead as it can see so, decided to go ahead and get smoking.

After I smoked them for the first hour, I put the temp up around 200 until they were 155 IT. I smoked for the first 3 hours, total time was around 7 hours.

Hi CDN,

Wow, sorry I missed this thread when it first came out! Your ham hocks look great, fantastic color on them. Looks like a great bunch of curing and smoking projects, awesome job!

Happy Holidays!
