    I'd rather have mine pulled than chopped.

    @tarheelmatt - Not directed at you.  I did read your comment but didn't take it that way.

    I like every type of BBQ there is.  Doesn't matter if its from Texas, KC, SC, NC, GA, KY, VA, ME, Korea.....it's all good in its own way.  Nothing worse than someone telling you "that's not how REAL BBQ is made.....ya see where I come from....."

    All  in good fun. Good Q is good Q, chopped or pulled. Surprisingly, even that mustard stuff in SC isn't horrible. I don't think they have Q in Maine though.  :D

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I just included Maine so @fishlessman wouldn't feel left out.  Everyone's a winner!!

    When it's hot, I slice some off for dinner, or snacking on if it isn't dinner time.
    I then wait until it's cooled enough that I can pull it or shred it by bare hand.
    Then mix juices back in, weigh it out into 8 oz chunks and freeze it in individual snack size ziplocs that I suck the air out of.

    I was never a fan of chopped because I was cooking it to IT of 200 and then chopping and it came out mush. Another post said something about chopped being pulled at 185 and chopped and it was way better. I may prefer chopped now.

    Only thing worst is some good ol' boys taking a long whiff of flaming lighter fluid and then then saying "dontchalovethesmellofBBQ?"  :-O

    BTW count me in the pulled group!

    @gamason-while there may not be beef BBQ there sure is pulled beef and it will stand against pulled pork any day.  FWIW and have a great BGE weekend all. :)>-

    Chopped. Chopped. Chopped.

    There is BBQ(Eastern style, vinegar mop) and then there is pulled pork. Well, mustard-style counts too since that's where I'm from. :D

    Pulled and chopped. Depending on the mood. Pulled beef. Better than pork ever thought of being. Doing a chuckie tomorrow. "Beef...it's what's for dinner"
    Fish, Hunt, Cook....anything else?

    Pulled.
    Cooked to a internal of 160 and sliced.
    Chopped.
    It's a personal preference but the above is the order in which I prefer it.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
