Which smoker the best for pulled pork.

[mattgill]

Hi there,
New to this forum so thanks for the advice in advance. I sell pulled pork sandwiches here the the UK and need to make things more easier in the way of producing the pork. I don't to loose the quality of the product I have now which is done on a weber charcoal kettle with a guru thermostat and smoked with oak chunks, but I do want to make it easier to produce and a bigger scale without too much expense at this stage. I am wondering if anyone can give advice on which is the best way to go, electric cookshack or a pellet grill. I am quite prepared to use a smoke generator with the pellet grill such as a smoke daddy. The only pellet grill I can get here in the UK is the Green Mountain grill. In your opinion and knowledge, which is the best way for me to go and keep the quality near as I produce on the weber kettle( it's quite a pain doing 10 pork shoulders over 5 days

Hi sorry meant to Finnish off the thread before submitting. So yes it's quite a job doing 10 shoulders over 5 days in regard to setting up the weber etc.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kinds regards and thanks, Matt.

Well, an electric is the way to go if you just want to drop the butts in and forget about them, but you'll have to at least get one the size of the MES 40.

You can do about 6 butts at once in a Weber Smokey Mountain cooker (WSM) and if you add on a BBQ Guru DigiQ it's pretty much set it and forget it!  You will love the ease of use and the flavors you get with the WSM.

Good luck,

Bill

Matt,

what size butts are you cooking?  Which cookshack are you considering?

Do you have any welding skills?  How much space do you have to cook (are you in the city or out in the country).

I also sell pulled pork and had the same issues as you do!!!
I upgraded to a W.S.M. It holds 6 shoulders easy, and you already have a guru it takes me exactly 20 lbs of coal for 6 shoulders I am using a pitmaster IQ
Hears a few pics of my setup with shoulders

What about having one built? I'm a stick burner and probably always will be. Reverse flow or offset
