bcrgrill Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 A daughter that has a food blog does this sort of crock pot stuff all the time. Also, does a lot of halfway type cooking that few can tell from the real thing. E.g. a couple hrs. in a smoker, then finish in the crock pot. Sometimes doing it the other way around -- large feed with a brisket will partially pre-cook it, then finish it off in a smoker/cooker. Oftentimes will pass for an overnight cooked brisket! Local Lions club does a yearly "BBG" sandwich when they have the little local logger show. It is basically this same method shown in this video on a larger scale -- they sell well & get lots of raves. In the old days they actually did true BBQ beef & pork, but health dept. requirements have made it so this method is much easier to accomplish while meeting all the safety meat handling temps. etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Improv Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Gotta admit, that looks P.D.G.! I love your videos, and this one is nicely done as usual. I'll admit the music makes giggle, though. If my wife were home, she'd think I was watching a lewd movie on Skinemax or something. :D Sexy music for sexy meat. America's Test Kitchen has this method for crock pot brisket where they put a disposable pan over the aromatics and the meat on top of that. The idea is that it keeps the meat cooking in a dry environment while air pressure causes the tin of veg to suck up any juices that drip. It is intriguing and I wonder if it would benefit a butt cook like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Setzler Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 I asked the followers on my Facebook channel if they would be interested in this video and I got an overwhelming positive response to do it. My demographic on Facebook is a little more gender balanced than here, but not a lot more. According to my YouTube analytics, I only have a female subscriber base of 16% but I think my Facebook is a little higher than that and here is probably lower...

It is intriguing and I wonder if it would benefit a butt cook like this. I've cooked a whole chicken in a crockpot before. I rub with some oil and seasoning, usually stuff some herbs and occasionally a lemon inside. Then crumple tinfoil balls several inches wide and place on bottom. Put the chicken on top of that and u can add a little beer or w/e. But the tin foil balls keep the chicken out of the juices and helps crisp the skin. About 4-5 hours on high should get it to the right IT. Not as good as on a kamado, but easy for a lazy Monday while your a work. Makes it almost like a roasted/rotisserie chicken. We usually eat it like that the first night. Then make either tacos or chicken salad with leftovers (makes excellent chicken salad, you'll never buy canned chicken again!)

mike echo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 To avoid/cure time crunches for my cook (all I use are a grill probe and cook probe), I use a crock pot to occasionally to finish or start a cook or warm up a cook for serving. Once I made a butt 100% in the crockpot but as we know, not as flavorful as on the Kamado. Crockpot is a nice tool to have around the kitchen.

coast2coast Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It's OK to make it in the crock pot as long as you don't call it barbecue, I've had that argument with family members. Barbecue has to involve fire. ckreef and slashand1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben S Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) when do I add the liquid smoke? ok, in all seriousness, the recipe looks good and simple. I think there are only a few of us silly enough to try and put a but on during a wind storm, i call this a good alternative.

karacooks Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I do a lot of crockpot cooking in the winter - and before I had the grill. John's looks like a recipe I've done in the past and it's easy and good. A nice variation to this is to add a can of Ro-Tel (spicy version if you're up to it). It gives you a bit of a Tex-Mex twist and makes nice shredded pork for tacos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I think there are only a few of us silly enough to try and put a but on during a wind storm, i call this a good alternative. I guess I'm one of the silly people. I just don't think wind effects it as much as people blame the wind for their temp problems. Low-n-slow the vents are just barely open and high heat who cares. Just my silly way of looking at the wind issue. I just don't worry about it and grill on. Ben S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind does not scare me either, I just don't expect rock solid temps. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dawg Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 We've made crockpot pulled pork like this for many years...in our opinion, it's a decent facsimile, but nothing beats a true low and slow butt off of the kamado for true bbq flavor! That said, when you start the crockpot early in the am, leave the house for the day and come back to pork ready to be shredded, it's mighty convenient...

JonF Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 So my wife tells me my son called stating his fiancé made crock pot pulled pork and that there was plenty and to come over (next door) for dinner if we don't have plans. I said "Oh isn't that cute" My wife laughed. We made burgers... ckreef and LargeRedJoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
