Pulled Pork
« Reply #-1 on: June 24, 2013, 11:17:42 AM »
It's almost cliché and a rite of passage for most, but after 3 years of hard core pellet BBQ, I've found my way back to pulled pork.  I'm generally a beef guy and prefer turkey, salmon ... almost anything to pulled pork, but that has changed.  Here's an odd comment, over the past 6 months my tastes have changed, maybe I'm getting older, but pork tastes better as does a variety of sushi that I wouldn't previously touch.  Ok back on track.

Smoke bath for 3 hours.  180 for 6 hours, 225 for 3 hours.  Pan foiled from 165 to 195.  Was surprised to find temps ranging from 190 to 207 when pulled.  Rested for 90 minutes.  Bone pulled out effortlessly.

The molasses made the best bark!  Rub and injection were entry level basic.  No pictures of the pulled pork sliders with sauce and slaw, but they disappeared. And I mean faster than almost any meal off the Traeger.

Yes that IS good looking pork! A sammie would be perfect right about now. BTW - which sushi are you liking now?

sushi was probably the wrong word, although I had some great sushi too.  On my recent and first visti to Kauai, I couldn't get enough of the poke

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poke_(Hawaii)

Absurdly delicious for something not BBQ'd.  We had amazing fish tacos, and by the end of the trip were making our own, minus the cooked fish and plus the poke.  Poke, cabbage, lime, cilantro, corn tortillas, salsa or remoulade depending on your taste.  In the 2 months since our visit, it's become a family tradition, poke tacos.  I just wish I had a source here for poke, I'm not quite ready to try to make some myself.

How would molasses do in an SRG on low,  I have got to try it one way or another.

The pulled pork looks wonderful!
