Decided to have some friends over for pulled pork tacos for Cinco de Mayo - basically an excuse to fire up the smoker!
Decided to do a wet rub/marinade and injection. Put 3 jalapenos, 1 bunch green onions, 1 bunch cillantro, 1 red bell pepper, 1 tomato, 5 big cloves garlic, juice of 5 limes, little bit of oil, and some salt - all in the blender and pureed it.
Got two nice butts from Safeway (I did trim the fat), injected them and then put them in a 5 gallon ziploc with the rest of the marinade around them for 7 hrs. Put them on the WSM at 1:30 AM.
.... I have a neighbor who is a meat-a-terian and he mentioned they had bought some boneless pork butts last weekend and had half a one in the freezer. So I told him to thaw it out and put a rub on it and I would smoke it for him while I was doing mine. I tied it up with cooking twine to get it to cook more evenly.
In bed at 2:30 once I had everything running smoothly....... I will post some updates later!
