Smoke..the tamales were good to me..I think they needed more sauce in the blend. But that is a minor thing. The pulled pork was great, but I used a lil too much masa making them so cut back on the masa some..about 1 1/2 tbs at the most. I spread it with my wet fingers , added the meat then rolled them up and folded over the bottom and stacked them. Didn't even need to tie them up. I soaked the corn husks for hours and that made it real easy. Cooked for an hour..voila..tamales. I was going to fill them with the pulled pork and add a few pieces of collards for flavor. Wish I had now. I know they would have been killer. Go for it and have a good time. Rolling didn't take me long at all..maybe 15 minutes and I made 20 of them. Once I got the hang of it. Good luck.
