First attempt at pulled pork. Egg is nearly ready. 6 lbs. Figure it should take 9-12 hours. I can' t believe I'm this excited.

    I'm with you. Been up three times since midnight. And I'm not even cooking. Butts are easy. The Egg does all the work/magic.

    You from Kingsville, Texas?

    If you happen to find yourself up in Houston on October 4th, be sure to come by our Coop Party.

    Just a bunch of Eggheads getting together to have a good time.

    Hope to see you here.

    My wife too, & I think almost everyone else's wife for that matter. In fact, there should be a "My Husband is Crazy with his *%$#@ Egg Forum", give'm all something to do while we spend time cook'n good food & drink'n beer :silly: Not to dis the wonderful wives out there that are the eggheads, we could send their non-understanding husbands to the alternate forum to commiserate

    My wife only wanted me to do one. She thinks I'm getting crazy. Why is mine not as dark?

    it is going to depend on what you used to rub the meat with...


    if you used just salt and pepper yours will never get that dark.. it gets dark with the sugar in the rub (and some other things i don't really know enough about to comment)...

    your meat looks diffrent (almost like a loin but not really sure).... but it looks really good ;) .. take more picks when you pull it off the egg

    Yes it's a boneless pork loin rib. Seemed kind of fatty so I figured I'd give it a go. (only 1.49/lb)

    I'm still not sure yet about buying the bge. I live in Kingsville as well and was wondering how you like your egg.
    Do you let the charcoal get all white and ten start to grill, because l was at a cooking demonstration using the green egg and the guy used a few chunks of fire starter in the charcoal and ten minutes later he was grilling, the charcoal was still all black.
    The food tasted great, but its not how l would have normally thought to do it.
