First pulled pork (pics)

[geofite]

Here is my first pulled pork. It turned out fantastic!


The fresh pork butts. They weighed in at approx 4 1/2 pounds each.


Cheap yellow mustard rubbed gently and lovingly all over the pork butts.


The rub rubbed over the CYM. Rested on the table for about 45 minutes while the smoker heated up to 210 degrees Fahrenheit.


Into the smoker we go. Smoked with hickory for 4 hours. Then left in the bradley smoker over night which was for 6 hours at 210F, but the smokers temp only went up to 180F. 


Out of the smoker. The internal temp of the butts was 150F in the morning so I put them in heavy duty foil, added a splash of apple juice to them and then put them into the house oven at 200F for 3 hours at which time the internal temp went up to 175F.


Then I did the FTC, foil towel cooler, and transported them to the feast. I put the wrapped pork butts into baking trays so that the juice would not spill and then this was wrapped with the towel, and this worked great. There was a small tray that held one butt under the big tray that held three butts, most of the juice stayed in the foil with some oozing out into the baking trays. The were in the FTC for 5 hours.


The pork butts turned out fantastic! So tender and tasty, just the right amount of smoke. After shredding, a bit of vaunted vinegar and the juice from the foil packaging was added to the shredded meat for moisture and added flavor.


The pulled pork was served on kaiser buns with home made baked beans and coleslaw. A variety of sauces were tried and the best tasting sauce was my home made secret recipe portuguese piri piri sauce.

Welcome Geofite,
Yes your secret is very safe.
I was thinking when I read your post that we wouldn't really know if it was a secret recipe unless you told us what was in it for comparison.
You were right.  It is a secret.

I can see by the inclusion of 8 to 10 cloves of garlic, that for the sake of disaster preparedness, I would highly recommend that alternate sites hold copies of this highly classified secret.  For quick recovery, it is also advisable that ingredient preperations be carefully executed and stored for emergency restore capability.  To ensure this is a 100% executable plan, th ingredients should be sampled on a frequent basis, and the process repeated on a regular basis.

There, I am glad we have this disater avoided.   ;)

Looks like a great recipe.

How do you store this? At room temperature or refigerator, and how long can it be stored.

[Smoking Duck]

Heck, with ten cloves of garlic, I may use it to replace the sensuous massage oils! ;D ;D ;D

Dear God...Help Us All...

Heck, with ten cloves of garlic, I may use it to replace the sensuous massage oils! ;D ;D ;D

I wouldn't do that if I were you. You may find yourself locked in the BS smoker with the heater on! :o ;)

[Smoking Duck]

It beats the doghouse I'm usually in and there's no comparison on the aroma  :D
