I was at the grocery still with the wife and she asked me what I wanted to take into work for my lunches next week. I thought about it. Pulled pork leftovers sound perfect, so we picked up a small butt. It was a little over 7 pounds.
I hit it with some of my own bbq rub about 9 am Sunday. Then let it hang out in the fridge. This one is definitely a “BUTT”, you can see the crack right there lol.
While the seasoning were dry brining their way in, I got my chimney fired up with some B&B briquettes.
I held my UDS temps about 225-250 the whole time using cherry and pecan wood chunks for smoke.
I don’t usually wrap my pork butts. This one cooked unwrapped to 200 deg and was probing very tender in about 8 hours. Here it is after a 20 minute rest under some foil. I couldn’t wait any longer. We were hungry. The shoulder bone pulled out with ease! I love that tasty black bark.
The meat claws are always handy when it’s still piping hot. Still had to finish pulling by hand, but it’s worth it. It was juicy and delicious. I even made up some soflaquers finishing sauce. It is very good. I see what all the praise has been for. I’ve been reading about the stuff for a few years now. It’s definitely a great addition.
