First crack at pulled pork + ribs

July 2016 edited July 2016 in Pork

Got a LBGE from some family members early this spring and have refurbished it/upgraded components (somehow they had just been using it only as a charcoal grill! They had no indirect set-up). Been hiding in the shadows gathering info on smoking until recently, now I share some of my eats.

Lately on I've been on a huge kick of trying out new items to smoke, ie pork butt, whole pork loin, ribs, meatloaf etc.

Some samples:

Both 5.5lb bone-in pork butts, smoked with maple and mesquite at 225°F, the one in front was ready to be pulled, rear one took a bit more time.

Terrible picture of pork side ribs (including breastbone/tips), but were cooked for 6h unwrapped at 225°F with a mix of apple/hickory, light sauce in the last hour.

Nice score! Make sure you let your family members know that it cooks awful food and embarrassed that you took it.

Great first post!!! Looks like you hit the ground running. Just make sure they know how difficult it is to get such good results.....
