Smoked Pork Carnitas 22 hrs.

Ross in Ventura

This turned into a long and wonderful tasting carnitas smoke. 



I saw an add in our local paper for Bone in Pork Picnic Roast for $ .99 lb. 



Put it in the marinade 11 hrs. 





Put the rub on then yellow mustard 

On the Egg at 8:00 pm. @ 220* indirect with drip pan with apple cider vinagar with apple and cherry wood for smoke. 





8 am. the next morning turned it fat side down put mop and sauce on. 

Pulled at 6 pm. 185* interior for 22 hrs. rest for 1 hr. 



Shredded and pulled from the bone. 

Carnitas tacos with refried beans. this was truly a wonderful and tasteful meal and we have a lot of food left over and we will put them to good use.

Looks great and I bet it tasted better then the Carnitas I did back in May.  I did mine by cooking it in seasoned water on the egg after I marinaded it.  Part of it I couldn't fit in two CI DO's I did like you did and it had more flavor.  It was good, but I think it could have been better.  I think I will stick to pulled pork.

Here is what I did.

Looks fantastic, but I really think you need to have just a few more wires going into that egg !
