How Do You Pull Pork?

Anthony Up North

I've got a "picnic" going, about 5 lbs. [p]I"ve been following your instructions posted here in the past. Awesome results so far. Everything going well. Couldn't have done it without your help. THANKS!!![p]Picnic been on for 5 1/2 hours. Dome temp is holding at 210. Internal temp is up to 165. Maybe 3-4 more hours to go. Plan to jack dome temp up to 250 when internal reaches 180. Then plan is to take internal temp up to 195 to 200. Any suggested modifications at this point.[p]Then when I take it off. I plan to pull it immediately since we will be hungry. Is that okay or is it better to wrap in foil and wait about 15-30 minutes befor pulling? [p]Main question - how is the pulling done? Can anyone describe that process me in simple language. [p]Thanks for your help on this small point too. I don't want to screw anything up.[p]Anthony

<p />Anthony Up North, I use 2 forks for Pulled Pork or Pulled Beef. Sometimes a picture is worth MANY words... at internal 200, it will just pull apart. Good luck.

Anthony Up North,[p]Remove at 195F as you will have a nice ride through the plateau. Allow a 15-30 minute rest and tear that thing apart (no foil).[p]Pulling is simply tearing (it is tender and will pull instead) apart. It will pull in long strings of meat. These can be used for dipping or cut down for making sandwiches.[p]Spin

Anthony Up North,
Kick up that dome temp to 250* now if you want to eat at a decent hour today.

Anthony Up North

Gfw,[p]Yep, you are right - a picture often tells it. I see two forks along
side the meat, setting on a cookie sheet. I can imagine the tearing
process. [p]Thanks a lot.[p]Anthony[p]

JJ,[p]Will do.[p]Thanks

Anthony Up North

Spin,[p]Will do that too. [p]Boy you guys are really like coaches on the sidelines. It is always good to get the advice of experience.[p]Thanks Spin.[p]Anthony

Anthony Up North, not reading any other posts (sorry guys if I tread on ya) it sounds like your doing great..When ya get if off and your ready to eat, either use two forks and just rip it apart like your raking your lawn, or use plastic gloves and finger rip it apart..its hot so you will have to use a bit of caution...Go for it...you will love it.

Char-Woody,[p]You are right! Some of the pulled pork is "down the hatch." Ohhhhhhhh so very good. Your tenderloin sounds great too... but at this time I'm too stuffed to want some. But you have a great time at your dinner. I'm sure you're mighty hungry sitten thar watching all that cookin goin on" [p]Thanks for your support old buddy.[p]Anthony[p]
