BBQ Trilogy!
« on: January 16, 2011, 08:21:25 PM »
Well it started off with a pork shoulder coated with "Whitey's Rub". Seasoned 24 hrs. Placed on the smoker at 6am, and left until about 7:30 before chips were added.  :yike: No heat to the element!!!!. (more on that later)
Moved the meat to the oven, set at 250. Let it brew for a few hrs. Went to church, came home and started a fire in the green egg. Moved the meat to the egg for a few more hrs. My son had to eat by 6pm b/c of soccer practice, took the meat off at approx 180 degrees.
I couldn't believe it, it wouldn't pull. I chopped it, and it tasted good, but It wouldn't pull. Dangit!!!
Was 180 not enough, or was all the movement disruptive to the process??

190-195 minimum to pull. At 195 it basically falls apart.

I have always gone to 195 before this episode. I really didn't think it would make that much difference, but it did.

Any chance you would share that with us? :)

My smoker is a masterbuilt. It has been tempermental. When it works it works great.Have had some electrical issues where it doesnt' seem to get power, but I had power yesterday and the element would not heat. I'm wondering if the element went out?? I took the back off, and about every thing is sealed up. I found a good step by step guide on the web for replacing the element and wiring. I will check to see what a new element costs to see if it would be worth fixing. My wife says just buy a new one. cha-ching!!!

Whitey, I made about a gallon bag full of your last rub. Can't wait to try the new one. Post it up when you get it dialed in :drool:

Instead of pulling it,when done take the bone out,lay meat on a plate, than put a plate on top of the meat for weight and refridgerate over night.Then slice it cold and reheat each piece through...its awesome that way with some cackle berries and taters

quadrafire and Boss .300 winmag

A gallon of rub should last awhile 4sure. I do like that rub but the one I am messing with now is going to be a little more zippy.

When I get it all done waiting for review i will post it and see what you all think.

Quad,

You might want to check the electrical connections right at or near the burner elements.  I had wire-nutted mine and insulated between the element and the wires/wire nutting with high temp ceramic batting insulation underneath the element.  Eventually that stuff broke down and the wire nuts melted and my burner stopped working.  This is a home built unit, bought the 1000 W element from The Sausage Maker.  Re-did the whole thing and it works fine again.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

I took the back off last night, plugged it in and it worked, didn't do a dang thing. You may be onto something with the connections. I will try to dissasemble it tonight and see if thats is the trouble.
