Pulled Pork

[TNJAKE]

Evening fellas and non fellas.....and those of you trying to figure out if you are the mother or the father on this mother's day. Last week my brother in law sent me a box of meat from home place pastures in como MS. He lives a few minutes away. Had a butt, belly, brats, Ribeyes. Seasoned up the butt last night with a throw together rub. Of Brown sugar, salt, paprika, onion, garlic, pepper, chipotle and cayenne. No measurements.

Was a beautiful piece of pork. About 6.5lb

Onto the smoker at about 240 using 100% hickory pellets and a smoke tube

About 3hrs in

No spritzing. Butt had superior marble so let it ride

About 8hr in. No wrap. Going for bark

Bone was sticking out at that point.
Total cook was about 10hr. Pulled when probe tender

Let it rest on the counter for about an hour and pulled

Plated up with some tater salad, slaw, pasta salad and chips. Wife said was perfect and the perfect meal to honor her so I'm happy

Also put a pork belly in cure today for a future smoke that isn't bacon.......see y'all in 2 weeks!

Excellent job man, that looks like a quality cut to begin with. Always helps to start with a good foundation like that. Keep up the good work man.

Thanks Jim. I'm sold on home place as far as pork is concerned. Just wait until you see the pork belly in a couple weeks

That was a fine looking butt right there! I do not get tired of looking at nice butts. Fine looking plate also! Thanks for sharing, Jake.

It sucks that there is no way to record how it tastes, looks absolutely delicious. I'm envious.

My first thought when I saw the pics was WOW, that's one beautiful piece of meat. And you sure did it justice, Jake.
