The wife was craving some pulled pork this week as desired to have a couple of days of simple meals

1/4” far trimmed cap then 1/2” 45 degree scored

This is my fav finishing sauce…. Apple cider (about 1.5C), apple cider vinegar (couple tbs), chicken broth (about 1.5C), veg base (1tbs) and sugar in the raw (2-3 tbs).

The shoulder got some yellow mustard then a heavy coating of a modified version of Jeff’s rub and then on the RT 1250 at 265 @8am.

It hit a INT of 170 about 6 hours in so I added a bit more of liquids and foil boated it till 203 (@ 4:30)….then rested in the house oven at 145 till din din time…..

Looks great! The taco shot is amazing! I usually use a chicken stock under my butts for my finishing sauce combined with the pork drippings. I may just have to add some ACV next time.

Great cook and I'd stand in line for those tacos Civil. I remember those commercials and still keep a supply in the cabinet 😆. Might be needed but it would definitely be worth it this time!

Nice work and looks delicious Civil. To quote the 1972 AlkaSeltzer add “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” lol that would be me here.
Thanks and I’m glad it don’t eat the whole thing even though I wanted to!

Thanks jcam! Oh yes the ACV is a nice add! It really helps cut the richness so you CAN eat the whole thing! lol
