    Silly Rick; you don’t need no water in that pan!

    Though I must say, the water does help keep the drippings from smoking.

    He added salt to the adobo twice.  Once on the plate, once when he was using his measuring spoons.  

    Probably not a big deal on a pork butt rub.  But, it triggered me.

    I don't know what it is about him, but I always feel like he should be on the evening news.  I always feel like Lester Holt is showing me how to cook.  I respect his skills, that's a "me" problem.

    Total rookie move!

    But yeah, you’re right about the drippings.  I add a bit of water to the pan for precisely that reason.

    That’s funny I’ve always thought he should be co-hosting a sports talk show on ESPN…

    the pork looked a little dry to me. But that adobo sounds wonderful!

    Hard to tell if it was dry b/c he didn't take it all the way up to 205F+. Without that rendered collagen sheen it may not appear as moist as traditional pulled pork. I bet it was delicious.

    Welcome to the Green side Rick. We smoke with liquids in the drip pan most of the time, with great results. Rick looks like he may have overcooked that pork.

    Maybe he can try it again with a fattier Boston Butt? The rest of it sounds good but maybe coming k it lower and slower.
