Pulled Pork, Best one ever

[912smoker]

Nice color and bark Mike and.glad it turned out great! Love trying new ideas and recipes from time to time.
I inject but have never tried brining a BB....yet! And don't remember why I quit using BBBR ? Always gave great color and flavor.

That sounds and looks like a really tasty butt for PP. What is the brine recipe? If you don't mind sharing.

These pork butts take so long I always neglected the rest time, but the one I smoked a couple of weeks ago I stayed up late and rested in a cooler. It made a HUGE difference, and I will never neglect that step again. Yours looks amazing. Glad you saw good results (and the wife was happy).

Thanks. I learned a long time ago how important the rest time is, especially with Briskets.

I always run my MES wide open on pulled pork projects, it's a work horse , love pulled pork there is so many ways to use it.

I am always very happy when my MES runs perfectly for long cooks, it's probably 10 + years old. They are work horses.

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Keith. I was hesitant about brining, but it's changed my mindset.

Thanks here it is, very simple. 3/4 cup molasses, 12 oz pickling salt, Kosher is ok to use also. 2 quarts bottled water, (I used tap water), brine for 12-24 hours. Then rinse, etc.
