Pulled Pork...Please heelp the in-experienced
Options
I have read many past posts regarding pulled pork, however, searching back through the forum, I have not found specifics on pork cuts, prep, temps, length of cook, process during and after cook, etc? [p]Would any of you experienced Eggers be willing to help a Newbie with the above to obtain the pulled pork results I have dreamed about for many years?[p]All responses from experience in this area would be greatly appreciated!!

Badger Smoke,
I am far from the most experienced on here but I do have 13# on right now. I do them indirect with a dome temp of approx. 240-250. Cook till they are 200 degrees internal. Usually near two hours per pound for your largest butt, but cook by temp not time. They are done when they are done and no two are exactly alike. I usually coat the outside with mustard, just to help the rub stay on the meat. Put them over a drip pan with some apple juice and apple cider vinegar. After a few hours you can spritz them with a little more if you want but do not open your egg more than necessary. As they say on here, "trust your egg", it will keep your meat moist. Hope this helps a bit.

Badger Smoke,
elder wards writeup is as good as it gets, for the first time following it, you want a 250 dome temp for the cook, and you want to chck on things every 3 hours. do those things and you will not have a problem. shoulder, butt, picnic shoulder all make pulled pork.

Badger Smoke,
the last couple of days I've done 2 boston butt cooks.
each time it was 2 butts(sams club package)about 8 lbs each. get your fire stable at 225-250(the lower the better)cover with dizzy pig set up indirect don't open unit you have internal temp. of 195-200.....can't miss.....

Is it impossible to do this w/o a Polder probe[p]I don't want to open and reopen the lid to check temp.[p]Where can I get one of these probes?

utvolegger,
the remote therms are nice, but you can do it with the old fashioned dial style if it reads temps. stick it staightup in the meat and read it thru the daisy with a flashlight. yoy will want to get a remote eventually, polder, maverick etc
