I did pulled pork for the second time this weekend. All I can say is WOW, it was awesome. It was so much better than the first which I rushed a little (first was good, but not near as good). Did Wild Willy Rub, 3 hours apple & 1 hour hickory & FTC for about 4 hours. Served it with rolls & corn on the cob.

The funniest thing about this is that my son (almost 17) LOVED it. He was a vegetarian for almost 5 years, he has been eating meat again for about a year and is the biggest carnivore I know - it's like he's making up for all the meat he didn't eat.

I need to thank everyone here- I have learned so much in the six weeks since I found this site.

Congradulations on the success. ;) When it comes to pork and some beef, low and slow is the way to go. :)

Giz you could load a few ABT's in the war head and send it my way. ;D :D ;)
Looks like fun except the jumping part.

No, I wouldn't have skipped out on you. We were down by Plaster City or about 25 miles West of El Centro.

Ice, I think they had a few ABTs loaded in and headed your way. Unfortunalty the RDAS failed resulting in the lawn jart mode of opperation. We had several rockets that burried thier nose cones DEEEEPPPP into the rock hardended ground. Maybe next time.

Freezer full of deer from 06/07 seasons. Starting this weekend on jerky-ing it all. First batch hits the smoker tomorrow a.m. and doing a bunch in a row cause camping season is here!!!!!!!

Gizmo · June 08, 2008, 08:41:40 PM

After the smokin in the desert, no not from the 93 degree temperature which is cold by LQ standard, ;D Did a high speed smoked spare ribs. Ice's oinkr seasoning, 1hr 20 smoke (took longer due to a few missed puck cycles) then AJ spritz, wrapped in foil and onto a 300 degree grill. Finished 1/2 the ribs with Ice's Sopin' sauce, 1/2 with a Korean BBQ sauce, and the trimmed ribblets went bare.

La Quinta · June 09, 2008, 10:43:47 PM

You're right Giz...93 is...uh...for weather wimps...!!! BUT...have you found out what's causing the "puck cycling problem"? I know you cleaned and got the unit very clean..any ideas? (Just in case somebody else has the same issue).

Gizmo · June 10, 2008, 09:15:39 PM

No, it has been acting up and actually seems to get worse with age. The timer cycles as I can here the click, just doesn't go through the motion. I haven't put any time into trouble shooting. Too busy running from land sharks and dodging rocket lawn jarts I guess. :o

I've got 3lbs of Almonds in now getting 3 hours of Hickory. Tomorrow 4lbs of Jerky.

Saturday our Boy Scout troop will board the Amtrak to head to Raleigh, NC, then a bus to Camp Raven Knob outside Mount Airy, NC.

Gizmo · June 12, 2008, 10:56:43 PM

FLB,
Guess you start a repeat of that menu for next weekend to replace what will surely be gone in 30 seconds if it goes on the trip with the scouts.

FLBentRider · June 13, 2008, 03:42:03 AM

I'm taking 9lbs of jerky and 3 lbs of almonds. That should do for the trip up.

There are already packages in the mail for replacement supplies...

Last year we took 3 personal vehicles for 21 people. Rising fuel prices and more people (26 this year) forced us to seek alternatives. A round trip charter bus from FL to NC was going to be $7800.00 - between and Amtrak and the shorter charter bus, we got the cost under $4200.00 - and when you have to raise that money selling popcorn, etc --- that is a big difference.
