Decided to make home made pulled pork as an experiment in smoking meats on the charcoal grill. Bought a 3 pound Boston Butt as a starter to prove if it could actually be done on a now smoker grill.
Made a spice rub out of the following:
Garlic Powder
Crushed Red Pepper
Black Pepper
Stubbs Chile Lime
Stubbs Rosemary Ginger
Asian 5 Spice
Cayenne Pepper
Hot Paprika
Element of Spice: Spirit of Fire
Mustard Powder
Memphis Style Barbeque Spice
Zesty Seasoned Salt
Hot Shot Black and Red Pepper Blend
Hot Mexican Style Chili Powder
Habanero Dust
Ground Cumin
Onion Powder
Let it sit in the refrigerator for two days
On the day of I soak Mesquite flavored wood for 2 hours in water to provide optimal smoke
Setup the grill for indirect heating with a drip trap and got the smoke rolling and temputure right around 275 to 300
Filled the drip tray with apple juice and some left over rub
Checked it every 2 hours and sprayed it with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and apple juice to keep the outside moist.
Total cook time 6 hours of smoking
Made 6 huge sandwiches with left overs for 4 more and damn near past out from the ITIS. Totally worth the time and effort to do.
