I've changed my opinion on pulled pork!
« Reply #-1 on: July 20, 2015, 11:24:37 PM »
So, I decided to try pulled pork this weekend on the PBC.  I've made it in the past, but never felt like it was "amazing".  I now know why.  Here's what I did to make it a success.

1.  Blot dry and apply EVOO 12 hrs beforehand, then rub with PBC Beef n Game seasoning.

2.  Cook on PBC using standard methods.  I put mine (a 4lb butt) on the PBC at 10am.

3.  After about 4 hrs. I was hitting the stall (it actually happened around 182).  I then basted with cider vinegar every 45min. for the next 1.5 hrs.

4.  At 185, I decided to wrap it in parchment and put it on the grill grate in the PBC.  I also cracked the lid a bit to up the temp.  Til then it was hovering around 260-270ish.  After cracking the lid, it kicked up to 300.

5.  Pulled the butt at 203 at approx. 6:10pm. 

6.  Let it rest to a temp of around 175 before I couldn't resist pulling it apart.  YUM!!!

What was different about this butt vs the ones you've cooked in the past? More flavor? More smoke throughout? Better flavor?

My traditionally-smoked butts always seemed lacking in flavor in the middle.

Looks good.

I have been having good luck by putting the shoulder on the grate from the beginning and let' er rip.

Don't look until about the 4 hour mark (I usually cook the 8 lbers from Sams) , and the bark comes out great.

My wife / kids now prefer the pulled pork from the pit barrel.

Yours looks fantastic.

All the best
