GLOCKer Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I got it up to 185 when the smoker temp started falling fast. Sure enough, it was pretty much burned out. It was VERY probe tender, so I pulled it and wrapped it before chucking it into a cooler. It was starting to fall apart on the grill when I took it off. A piece fell off onto the snow in my driveway so I ate it. LOL It was good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOCKer Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks John! I used your simple directions from the pinned post in this section of the forum instead of the slightly more intensive method I learned from the BBQ class I attended. It came out great!

Aussie Joe Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Glad it turned out that bit that fell on the ground we call it the 5 second rule if you eat it before 5 seconds is up should be right lolOutback Kamado Bar and Grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 As long as it didn't fall in any yellow snow you should be good. Pequod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nicely done. If you like vinegar sauces -- and who doesn't with pulled pork? -- I recommend trying Reef's vinegar sauce. Seriously good stuff. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalinedrive Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 These smokers work really well in cold weather. Last night we cranked ours up to 550 degrees for pizza. It was 15 degrees out. Last week we smoked ribs and it was 10 degrees outside. The Kamado held its temp very well. I haven't tried smoking with the temp below zero...yet :-) Nice looking cook sir!

GLOCKer Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just now, ckreef said: Great looking pulled pork. Thank you! I intended to freeze it in chunks but screwed up a little. The meat started falling apart when I removed the bone. It fell apart more when I started cutting it up and pulling the fat off of it. I guess next time I should just leave it alone and worry about doing all of that stuff after I've thawed it back out to eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our butt last night we had a few sandwiches and saved some pulled for tonight. I also froze 2 chunks for later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I rest it, I pretty much just have to look at it sternly and it shreds itself and spits out the bone. Would be hard to find chunks that hold tegether for vac seal. Cooking to more of a sliced pork consistency would help with that. Brisket I always seal in large chunks. Don't worry about it for pulled pork.

TKOBBQ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Really good looking PP, I allays shread all of mine then put it with little sauce in the vacuum bags and freeze. When we need a quick dinner we pull out of the freezer and put it into a pot of boilig water with a rack to keep it off the bottom. When heated through cut the bag open and serve, tasts fresh as the day we cooked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOCKer Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 My wife made me a load of bread in her new bread machine to help me make this for dinner tonight: I threw a splash of apple cider vinegar in with the pulled pork when I reheated it in the microwave and it came out great!!! It was a ridiculously good sandwich! TKOBBQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
