My first overnighter.

[Quarlow]

So here they are. The second one came out at 12:30 15.5 hrs FTC'd till 4:00, then started to pull.

and pull,

and pull some more,

and pulled some more. The bone pulled right out no problem on both. It was a thing of beauty.

Till it was all pulled. Man I need some bear claws.

Made a half batch of the Vaunted Vinegar from the recipe site,

Stacked up a Kaiser bun


Added some tater salad,pad thai noodle salad, brocoli crunch salad and some macaroni salad, hey variety is the spice of life.


Never made it to the second bun so I didn't get to try the Vaunted vinegar but there is always lunch tomorrow. And you can bet I will try it.

As for the flavour difference. There was quite a difference. Surprisingly the CYM and Jan's rub was sweeter than the CT and Jan's. But I did like the CT and Jan's better. And remember I didn't inject at all. I will try that next time. Oh yeah the salads were all store bought so they were marginal at best. But with the pulled sammies it didn't matter, they were the star of that meal. When you are grueling through the night on a long smoke you think "why am I doing this" till you eat some of it while you are pulling it and then you go "Oh yeah, that is why". I put down 5 hrs of smoke, a blend of mesquite, maple and apple. I was just using up some stragglers. It was good and smokey the way I like it. Thanks for all the comments folks, I would never have ever made most of the stuff if I wasn't inspired by this forum. I would have probably been happy with just doing salmon like I did before I got this OBS. But your sense of culinary adventure has lead me in many differing edible paths. I love it when some one says something and then that inspires something all together different. God I love this place.

Nice looking meal Q!

[Tenpoint5]

Looks good Brother Q. Let me do some looking I think I have a second set of Bear Claws around here somewhere. besides I owe you

[TestRocket]

Sitting here at work right now and seeing that plate of food and only having a sandwich for lunch is killing me man! So I guess I better get back to work and try to forget about it. Haha!

[classicrockgriller]

Damn Q, that is just off the Chain!

So did the family enjoy all that great chow?

If not, you need a different family. ;D

[Quarlow]

Definitely a big hit. They love this pulled pork thing I have started doing. This is the second one I've done and till then we have never had pulled pork. You just don't get it around here. A shame really.

[OU812]

Good lookin pulled pork you got there Q.

That plate of grub looks great, but if I ate all that I would be layin on the couch like a beached whale.  ;D

[DTAggie]

Mighty fine indeed Q!

[FLBentRider]

If that looked any better they'd make you move to the south!

You have seen pics of me so your comment was not even nice. >:( Just kidding, Actually I didn't make it threw that plate either. I was all set to have 2 buns, one with CT on it and one with the Vaunted vinegar but i could only eat the one bun and half my salad. I did get to the second one with vinegar today though and I really liked that. I will make a full batch next time. Thanks for the comments. You guys make it fun.

[OU812]

What did you think of the smell comin from simmerin the vinegar?  :D

When I do it I have to wait till the girls are goin to be gone for a wile, otherwise when they come in they go "EUE WHATS THAT SMELL?" and then
b!!ch till the smell is gone.

[Quarlow]

Well I didn't think anything till the first puff of steam and it hit me right in the face. Then with the fan on it was not to bad but even the cats run outside. :D :D

[FLBentRider]

You ought to try making it 2 quarts at a time!

In our house it makes everyone hungry and ask "is the pork butt done yet?"
