    Pulled Pork for this Saturday (with Q-View)

    It was a great party and the pulled pork was a hit.  I put about 3/4 of one tray in our crock pot with about 8 oz of apple juice and let it warm up.  The rest, I put in the oven with apple juice and put the oven on 275.  I had about 18 lbs of meat total and now have about 8 lbs left over.  Got a...

    First Pulled Pork

    Looks delicious!  Much better than my first smoke, which had to finish in the oven because it poured down rain and was 3 or 4 hours later than planned.

    Pulled Pork for this Saturday (with Q-View)

    We planned a big 4th of July with pulled pork, the pool we just finished having installed and our annual fireworks show.  Unfortunately, here in Tennessee, it has been 100+ degrees for the past few weeks and we haven't seen rain since May.  Because of the dry conditions, our county put a...

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    I normally do 2 and it takes about 18 hours.  There wasn't much difference doing 4.  I rotated them around periodically and had one hit 185 in about 17 hours, the 2nd one came off at 18 hours and the last two I left on for about 19.5, mainly because I was eating by then and just let them keep...

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    My wife uses the same argument when she's buying a $300 Coach purse, so I will get my Lang at some point.  We are currently putting in a pool, so extraneous spending is being frowned upon by both of us.

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    I've been talking them up to my wife and finally mentioned the price yesterday.  She didn't believe me at first.  I explained that it would last a long time compared to the cheaper ones.  She will eventually come around :)

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    Just a cheap Walmart Char-Broil offset firebox that I pulled the original thermometer and installed a more accurate one.  I've had it almost a year and it's served me well, but I admit I have been browsing on Lang's site a few times.

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    I was so tired and ready to eat last night that I only pulled 1 1/2 shoulders.  Tonight, I stuck the unpulled meat in the oven at 250 for a couple of hours and just pulled it.  Snapped a pic of 2 shoulders pulled in the pan.  Notice I left some big hunks because I like it that way sometimes...

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    I didn't get a full picture of the pulled pork because everyone attacked it as soon as it was done.  I actually liked the sweet rub better than the heat.  I'm going to be eating BBQ for a week, which is no problem  Mr. 500, they don't realize what we go through.  I make sure to remind them...

    Smoking 4 butts, q-view in progress

    The weather cleared up around 8 this morning and it has been a beautiful day since. Pulled my first butt off to make room for some bacon-wrapped cheese-stuffed jalepenos. I sampled a piece of the bark and it was out of this world.  This was the heat rub, but there is just a tiny hint of pepper...
