Sigh.... not another mini thread, Turbo Pulled Pork

SkinnyV · March 8

I know another thread but I liked the end result. I will reel it in going forward. Pulled pork 4.25lb butt 350 dome for 3.5 hrs. @ 2.5 hours hit 160 and foiled for the last hr. I actually pulled @ 3:15 reading 190 - 195 but wife and kids had to eat so the rest was short. Home made slaw, and my first time with some premium BBQ sauce I think I saw in a Mickey thread. Mickey you done good , you done good, you have made this mini a joy to have.

Hey good thing the Mini is gimmicky (per store sales reps) haha.

Getting good at this home made slaw now.

This sauce was Boss! new customer here for sure!

I found a farm nearby that sells forested Berkshire pork. The butts are normally 4-5 pounds. That gimmick sounds like a match made in heaven!

That looks like some really good Carolina q dude. Now you just need to fry up some hushpuppies. I'll bring sweet tea.

Looks great, perfect cook to make for a crowd with the mini! I love these posts of stuffing the little eggs full of great food! =D>

Very nice! I don't get tired of seeing cooks like that.

If the sigh was because you thought we would be bored...Think again! Great cook! The only sigh I have is of envy! Well done sir! Also, it's nice to see I'm not the only one whose house has ubiquitous children's toys too!

LOVE the mini cooks. Don't stop! How was the bark? Did you refuel or have any charcoal left?

Not trying to hijack this thread, but the mention of hush puppies made me dig out my recipe to make some. Here it is. The self rising corn meal is had to find out west, we order it from Mississippi.

BillyRay's HUSH-PUPPY RECIPE

2 c self-rising corn meal mix

1/2 c self rising flour

2 eggs

3 tsp baking powder

4 TBS sugar

2/3 c chopped onions

dash of salt and pepper

Chopped Jalepino(optional)

3/4 to 1c buttermilk(buttermilk is a must)

Mix dry ingredients, eggs and onion. Stir in enough buttermilk to make a

firm batter. Let sit for at least 1/2 hour, do not stir again. Spoon into hot

oil.

Turbo, the new old way to BBQ.

Depending on the size of course, but for the smaller butts on a medium, I tend to go all day low and slow. The larger butts we go turbo and the reaction is the same - great. We serve much like your presentation (although mine never looked so good - great job) or with lots of BBQ sauce and no slaw.

With turbo in the cooking quiver, no more overnighters.

Not sure I had bark, had some more burned parts not sure I really know the difference. My mini is a mess since waiting on replacement, its cracked , no gasket, and noticed the dome is not even properly sitting for a seal( the back is not aligned up right) so there are gaps everywhere.
That being said I've still done low and slow and this lasted just fine with the short time on one fill.

You're still waiting for a new base? Shame on them. The more burned parts are the bark.
