Well, I goofed nicely...before retiring I agitated my coals with my magic elbow rod untill I could see red hot ash drop to the ash pit. Did this in several spots from underneath..Gave the ash door a nudge to the open side, checked thermometer, all was well, 230F.
From 1:30 am till 7:00 a.m. the fire took off and it was up to 325F this morning..My PP was done! 208F degree's with a quick check from my Polder Remote. OFf it came with super hard crust all around. Shrunk to 2/3 is original size. But let me tell ya, that crust is delicious. And underneath was some of the best pulled pork (I think that all the time) that I have ever eaten. Very stringy and no fats whatsoever left in that hunk a pork. Now to the hash browns and eggs to go with it..
Cheers to ya and good morning!

(BTW would I do Jalepeno mustard coat again..?? You betcha))

    Char-Woody,[p]Well, I would offer to bring the hash browns but dont think I could make it there soon enough. Save me a sammich for lunch.[p]Congrats on the cook, sounds like it went well.[p]Troy
  • sprinter, It did, it did, I swear!! Yummy stuff. Has a nice bite to it and not overpowering..a bit like jerky.

    Char-Woody,
    If a goof like that results in a killer breakfast, ya aint done half bad!
    Nice work. [p]We are having a birthday party (6 already...dang) for the twins on sunday...kids from their class. I was thinking of having a batch of wings for the adults, and making burgers and dogs for the little ones. Now ya got me thinkin' maybe PP would be a big hit....with the little ones and the big folks. Plus it is easier than wings too. Hmmmmm. After I finger out what to do, then I gotta come up with something to make for the fest.[p]Awww! That reminds me. Gotta get on the horn, and find some fresh quails for Earl. Seeya!!

  • Char-Woody, Pulled pork & coffee doesn't sound like a bad breakfast, 'specially for an old railroader, but it begs the question - what are you gonna do for dinner? E.B.[p]

    Nature Boy,
    Hey, no kidding NB, try some Jalepeno Mustard for a crust. This was the first time I ever saw my wiffy grab two large hunks of crust and wolfed em down. Gettin to be a regular BBQ girl. ;-)

  • Char-Woody,
    I just assumed, bein' a railroader & all, that you'd eat the whole thing for breakfast...E.B.

    Char-Woody,
    Now I have this picture of a nice lady with two big hunks of crust in her hands, juice dripping, mouth gaping. Might make a good label for the mustard![p]Please tell me more about this Jalapeno Mustard.
    Thanks friend.

    E.B., now you know those "white hats" frown on dozing on the job..Too much P'pork causes that. Did it to me this morning...:-)

    Nature Boy, I picked it up one time when I was interested in the Jalepeno cheese for hamburgers..but this was a bit hot, so I usually mixed it 1/3 to 2/3 regular yellow mustard. It made a milder blend. But on the P'Pork, I used it full strength figuring if heat tempers Walkerswood, it would do the same with this..It did. But still a nice crusting with tantalizing zing to it. This one is made by "Silver Springs" in Eau Claire, Wisc. Ingredients if you want em. One could possibly make it at home with a blender and some regular yellow mustard, jalepeno peppers, some white vinegar, mustard seed, etc.
    Hey, I found a website....!
    Cheers..C~W[p]

  • Char-Woody,
    Well, most railroaders I know would've eaten the whole thing just to keep from sharing it with the rest of the crew...E.B.

    Char-Woody:[p]Looks like those folks make some good horse radish also . . . Some interesting facts and information on the site as to how to make it. Kinda makes me want to do a rib roast just for the horse radish!

    djm5x9, good thoughts... I brought home some horseradish the other day and waiting to open the jar, (outside) :-)
    Up in a small town in Northern South Dakota back in the late 1940's was a bar called John Huffs Tavern. Old John could drink more beer than all his customers combined in one night :-) He had a boy 16 years old that would come down from upstairs, (lived there) and pack Old John over his shoulder and carry him to bed, then tend to the customers and close shop.
    Big lad..very stout!!
    Anyway, Old John had a concoction of horseradish and mustard that was outstanding. He had the best dang cneese/hamburgers I have ever tasted. Some of the bar folks even ordered up the burgers raw on a bun and sloshed em with this mix Old John made up. I wish I could duplicate it.
    Long story..good memories...
    Cheers..
