    I used it in place of the pickled chilis in the octo-vinaigrette.  Fantastic flavor and perfect heat!

    Now I am trying to figure out some kind of Korean/Asian dish with the leftovers...

    Next time, or for anyone else doing it, I highly recommend the Ginger Scallion Sauce listed on the first page recipe. I have made it a few times. It is the Momofoku Bo Ssam recipe.

    I always think pizza for leftovers and you already have the meat and sauce.  Probably can’t use the sauce full strength unless you just drizzle it, but a neutral cheese like fresh mozzarella and you could have a winner.  

    Maybe that’s weird.  Of course it is, but pizza.
    Love you bro!

    Looks absolutely incredible!!  A few questions:  Did you use regular granulated sugar or something more "exotic"?  Is that a David Chang cookbook that this came from?  (I saw his picture on the page!)  I really want to try this recipe ASAP.  Love the ease of it, and the salty sweet flavor profile!  Thanks for sharing, John!

    I'll post it. It is very good but it would have cleaned my garden out of scallions and didn't want to run to the store.

    I always use rice wine vinegar because we always have a lot of it in stock. I’ll try the sherry vinegar next time but use what you have. Any white wine vinegar will work fine.

    Btw- rice wine vinegar is listed as the first sub for sherry vinegar. It has very similar acidity and flavor. Who knew?

    Thank you for sharing the ginger scallion sauce recipe! I actually had a small bottle of the sherry vinegar in the pantry, received as a gift.  Didn't see it in the store...

    I understand you were not asking me, however I used granulated sugar for the cook and turbinado for the 500 degrees at the end.  The oven started smoking , or I would have left it in longer.  Next time, I will try more sugar at the end, and maybe put on the lowest rack...  The sauces are amazing!

    Scott, your opinion is ALWAYS welcome, too!  You have certainly proven yourself as "knowing your way around the BGE/Kitchen" over the years!!  Thanks for the input.

    @EggObsessed Thank you for the kind words!  I am definitely a KelleyObsessed Fan!  There was that small egghead gathering up in Plano, when I first moved here, and you and your husband were gracious, generous, and kind.  :)

    @smbishop, we remember meeting you at the Plano Eggfest, too.  We were horrified that you'd just moved to Texas and had your gigantic Halloween pumpkin stolen!!  Bad first impression of Texans!  Thanks for YOUR kind words!

    Thanks Kelly! It was delicious and a very fun cook (although not too technical for anyone to approach). If you strip away all the fancy photos, It's basically a pulled pork cook with 50/50 salt/sugar rub and some fun sauces. I did not add any smoke though- just rockwood lump. could have done it in the oven and achieved the same results.

    I used Turbinado sugar because we use that for everything. I got the Gochugang and Ssamgang on amazon

    It is the Momofuku cookbook pictured above. I got it for Father's Day from my oldest son. Highly recommended. Lot's of great stories in there to compliment all the awesome recipes. Well worth owning a copy. Mine is already full of notes!

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker, we are huge David Chang fans.  He's probably our favorite "celebrity chef".  Love his food and his personality!  I see that cookbook in my future, for sure!

    Then you will love it. It's half him telling stories about his life and the restaurants and half recipes. Not sure which I think are most interesting.

     An old bottle of yuzu juice in cocktails is what got me through Harvey, some years ago =)

    Got mine going today . . . had a 4 and 1/2 pounder in the freezer so I defrosted it, let it sit in the simple (ha!) rub overnight and it's on the egg now.  One very small chunk of cherry bc I can't help myself.  Sauces made and now it's time to leave it alone.   

    What internal temp did you cook it to?  6+ hours at 300 degrees musta had it up pretty high, no?
    It's a 302 thing . . .

    I cooked mine like any other butt, until probed smooth and the bone was easy to pull.  Probably 200ish.  Have fun!  I have made all 3 sauces, twice now.  :)
