Title: Pulled Pork
Post by: billythekidrock on January 18, 2010, 04:14:06 PM: So I have decided to try my hand at pulled pork. (yeah, yeah, insert YAR joke here) It was a last minute decision and I also decided to try doing two, one in the oven and one in the smoker.

Hoping for a shorter cook time on one, I cut it in half and placed it in a Pyrex dish. I injected this one with a Garlic & Butter marinade that I bought at a sporting goods store. The recipe I used was found on the web and it consisted of 1/3 cup Worcestershire, ¾ cup brown sugar and ½ cup apple juice. It is in the oven at 225 degrees.

It was done in 4 hours. This turned out great. It was nice and juicy with a sweet flavor. Had this on rolls last night and tonight for dinner.

The second was injected with a mixture made up of ¾ cup apple juice, ½ cup water, ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup salt, 2 Tbs Worcestershire. The rub included ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ cup sugar, ½ cup Paprika, 1/3 cup Garlic salt, 1/3 cup salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp Oregano, 1 tsp Cumin. This one is in the smoker with a mix of Alder and Hickory chips.

This one finished at around 7 hours. It was juicy as well and actually “pulled” better then the other one, but it was a bit too “Paprika-ish” for me.

Post by: billythekidrock on January 18, 2010, 04:38:13 PM: I set the oven at 225 and the smoker fluctuated between 200 and 240.

Post by: TEX-X on January 19, 2010, 09:30:51 AM: BTKR did you spritz your pork in every hour or so? I usually spritz with a 3 part apple juice to one part olive oil.... adds a tad bit of moisture to it and give's it a good flavor... i'll also smoke mine for a few hours.... then i'll wrap it in tin foil with a splash of apple juice in it to finish it off.... I also recommend smoking a pork loin marinaded in a lemon pepper...it's very good

The UDS smokers (Ugly Drum Smokers are great.You wont find a better smoker for under a $500. They rock.I just built it a few weeks ago.Now I get up at 03:00 built the fire toss on the meat and ago hunting for 8-9 hours with no worries.
The Big one is a custom built pit.I hade it made in Ga. and shipped up..Its a Lang 84 super delux long neck.

Its all wood fired so lots of baby sitting going on with that one.Refuel about every 35-40 minutes..It Loves cord wood.Apple,Maple,alder,Oak any of the hard woods
