Pulled Pork Oh My Goodness.....
« Reply #-1 on: December 11, 2015, 08:44:54 PM »
I picked up a pork shoulder blade yesterday... set it in the fridge with a dry brine (kosher salt) overnight.

Rinsed and dried this morning and added some mustard and rub (T's WOW, Fine Swine & Bovine, and Super Pig - about 1, 1, 1.) Pre-heated the Char Broil electric smoker at 250* for about 45 minutes while the meat came close to room temp (takes longer than that but it does get the chill off.)

Filled the drip tray with hot water and the wood pan with apple chips - put the meat in a Bradley rack and in the smoker. After about 3 hours I added some more chips.

After about 6 hours the fork test was perfect - I think the temp was about 190* but the bone came out easily and the fork twirled just fine - it was ready. Great bark, great flavor, just right for a sandwich!

Pulled easily with my bear claws. Then I had to go get nourishment for Rocky's gymnastics team tomorrow - big 8 team meet.

Got home - the pork was gone - Roscoe had one of those guilty smiles - he liked it... dang! I had even bought him a treat - a big rawhide candy cane.... One of these days!

Obviously with all that bark it was speaking Roscoe's language.

Hey, Doc, have you had any problems with the CharBroil Electric Smoker?   I USUALLY get one good check for Christmas and am considering an electric smoker.    Down to the CharBroil or a Masterbuilt.    Read a couple of not good reviews on the promotional Masterbuilt that Academy has for $200.  Have always been partial to CharBroil cause that is what I have used FOREVER--on third big ones--other two still in use.   Have the SMK (smoker) attachment for my charcoal grill, but getting older and lazier!   Want the convenience of an electric set and forget job.    Would value your opinion, or any one else who has used either one.    Thanks

Hey AG-

I really like this smoker. I am old and lazy with 2 kids that are in many sports that require my attendance or coaching...  ??? ::) ::) ::)

I have an original test unit as they worked out the bugs. I know they have added some stuff since then and likely is much better. However, I do like mine. I had the original C-B electric smoker. This is WAY better. I have read that some people had problems with the digital control - I haven't. I can set it, let it preheat, then add the water pan and wood (I use pellets or chips or both depending on "flavors.") I have used Weber SM smokers and liked them as well as my Weber grill for smoking. While they all worked great, given my attention span and time, the electric C-B is my choice for a smoker - maybe someday when things slow down I will get a stick burner, but for now this is the smoker for me.

Good luck - enjoy & send pictures!
