Hey all....Im hoping someone out there can help me salvage my sanity.
Right now I am on my 3rd attempt at pulled pork. Also, my 3rd smoking attempt with the 36" master forge from lowes, first smoker ever.
This is also the 3rd time now I have failed to cook pulled pork. For some reason I cant get it cooked!
This time its a 4 pounder with bone. Cooking at between 220 and 250 using a probe thermo through wood block literally right next to meat (verfied accuracy with 2 thermos in boiling water). I put it on at 11:30am and it is now 8:00pm. Going on 9 hours and it is only at 160*F! This happened the other 2 times also.....
What in the world is going on? I have read all the basics, primers, stickies, and a few books (which all say 1.5 - 2 hrs per pound). This is mighty discouraging!
Thanks for any insight!
