Pork Picnic in the Davy Crockett
« Reply #-1 on: February 27, 2015, 04:26:18 PM »
I realized I was maxed out on vacation yesterday, so I worked (just a little) from home today.  The only dilemma was that snow was coming in this morning and it was in the 20s overnight (I know I have become a wuss since moving to Texas).  I started an 11 lb pork picnic (skin removed) at around 8:00 last night at 225 and took naps between loading pellets and making sure that they were dropping into the auger alright overnight.  Finished up around 10:00 this morning right before the snow started.  I had just enough time for the pooper to cool off and get the cover on.  Pulled after about 30 minutes tented on the counter.  Poured a little bit of the drippings into the pork after pulling.  I think I am 4 out of 5 weeks making pork, but the prices have been so low that I couldn't pass it up (the picnic was $0.89/lb).  I am almost burnt out on pork.  This is the first time in a while that I don't have any pork thawed in the fridge.  I just need to finish the picnic leftovers this weekend.

That's some great looking pulled pork.


$.89/lb?  :o

What a great price. Time to stock up the freezer!

Good looking pulled pork, going to make good sandwiches.
I usually use Boston Butt for pull pork and the picnic for Pernil but I will give the picnic a shot at pulled.

I usually use Boston Butt for pull pork and the picnic for Pernil but I will give the picnic a shot at pulled.

Don't be afraid to try one.  I use both all the time, especially for larger cooks where I can get a better price for whole shoulders. In the end, once the meat is pulled, you can't tell any difference.

In fact we just  picked up a picnic from the butcher a couple hours ago for some jerk pork, because they were out of butts.
