Pork Butt pulled pork

Finally was able to find a nice boston butt this season has been a hard one to pickup the choice pork cuts and this one takes the cake!

I went a little light on the rub this time and used more of the garden herbs to make a spice rub.
Then I added cholula hot suace to the drip trap to create a nice hot sauce smoke flavor to the meat.
Sidney guarded the grill as he is the major pulled pork fan of the household.
Nice and charred on the outside with excellent burn ends the bone slide right out after 8 hours of smoking with hickory wood.

Grilled Pot Roast low and slow

So I had the ideal to grill a beef pot roast for 6 hours on 200degree heat.First thing I did was make a nicely loaded drip tray and beef broth to add moisture to evaporate and keep the meat tender.
Using a newly purchased weber rake I placed the seasoned beef on top of the grate and let it cook for the day away.

I highly recommend this method of cook roasts and think it could be used to do roast beef sandwiches just place the meat in a drip tray instead of the rack and make a nice broth with stout, beef bouillon, and spices.

Pulled Pork

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.
