Title: Smokey Pork Chili Verde
Post by: smokeasaurus on October 06, 2013, 07:39:43 PM
Another older recipe from Weber. I used to make this all the time when I had my drum smoker.

Got the Weber Kettle set up with one charcoal basket. 17 unlit, 8 lit. Mixed peach and hickory chunks

Pork butt rubbed with oregano,cumin,chili powder,salt and garlic

Lets go for a kettle ride

added 8 unlit briquettes every hour. Bottom vents barely open and the top wide open. Ran at 250 the entire cook..notice my well-defined forearms (http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc469/s1cott11/funny%20icons/icon_biggrin.gif) (http://s1213.photobucket.com/user/s1cott11/media/funny%20icons/icon_biggrin.gif.html)

Outstanding!

Nice Southwestern style pulled pork.

So, one charcoal basket with 17 briquets unlit and 8 lit and 8 briquets every hour? Add wood. Vents barely open on the bottom, wide open on top. Ok, its a plan.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

And - Scott - I want to thank you for including how many coals were lit and un-lit...That piece of advice will be valuable to anyone cooking this recipe on a Weber kettle!

Before I came to this forum, I never new so much could be done with a Weber Kettle. My previous conception was that the kettle was for direct grilling of steaks, chops, and burgers. Nothing else. I had no idea you could cook ribs, pork butt, brisket, and other wonderful items on this very flexible device let alone use it as a cook stove with cast iron cook ware. I never even knew that you could adjust the temperature of the cook on this device and how. And, I did not know anyone who even knew the potential of this device who owned one.

This device, and the library of information that is available from this forum from the folks who use the Kettle to its full potential, is just amazing. I really appreciate that. One who comes here can ask and find many answers and in most cases all of the information about what is going on and how it is done is voluntarily presented anyway. No question, that this site offers the neophyte as myself great opportunity to both learn and deploy what has been learned and to ask for advise along the way. In addition, by following the directions presented, one becomes a culinary hero among family and friends who wonder how a cook can be so miraculously completed.

From the man sitting in the recliner chair, thank you very much.

Ed

That looks really good smoke. I would imagine any leftovers would freeze well too. Thanks for sharing.

Well it appears I missed out on one excellent meal!

Gonna make some burritos....

Yeah boy, I like that idea. Or maybe even some chimichangas with a little guacamole on top. Dang, now I'm hungry! I am doing one of these very SOON!

Our old Weber Kettle has actually seen very little direct grilling. In fact, I'd venture to say less than 5% of the we've cooks done on it could be considered grilling.

Gonna trade the 18.5 for a 22.5...that is a sweet deal right there. I chose the kettle over the WSM cause I wanted to tinker with the fire a bit. I think with the larger WSM, I might set it up with less coal and force feed it throughout the cook so I can feel more involved.
