Christmas Pulled Pork

[Ron D]

Got two Boston Butts for Christmas Dinner. Trimmed and scored the fat cap. Used Phil's Original on one and Char-Broils POS Memphis Dry Rub on the other. Put them in the MES 30 at 225 with a mix of hickory and apple chips at 9:30 last night. Just pulled them from the smoker at 12:30 at 195.
FTC until around 3:30 for dinner.

Well Tee, I hate to say that I was a good boy on Christmas and did not test taste either one. SWMBO told me I had to wait until the Kids and Grand Daughter come over to have any...dang. Going be a hard time waiting. So I have banished myself to the living room with a beer so I do not have to smell them or try to peek into the cooler.

Well - sometimes a man can't have too many brownie points Ron, so you better go along with the boss lady . So - when you do get to taste 'em later - fill us in on 'em!

It was a feast Smoke.

Now for the rubs. While Phil's was great 5 out of 5 votes went for the POS Memphis as it was more of a true BBQ taste. I thought they both held up well and look forward to using Phil's on more things as I can see it is a great all around spice. I look forward to some burgers with it as I can tell from this tasting it will be great on them. I did eat both of my BBQ sammies with just slaw and no sauce so I could get the full flavor, the rest all tried a different sauce on theirs for a good taste test. The bark was great on both. I will be taking some of both to work tomorrow for some co-workers to taste. All in all it was a great meal with plain coleslaw, Blue Cheese Coleslaw, German Tater Salad topped with bacon, deviled eggs and the great cake that Diana made.
