Parker Colorado

June 24, 2021, 02:47 PM

I live in Parker Colorado and smoke pastrami, beef, pork, lamb, chicken, ribs, fish, and anything else I can find. Love to learn new things, as I did last weekend. Smoked my first pig. It was really tender, juicy, and delicious. Also looked really cool when done, BUT, definitely prefer pork butts considering the added flavor of the bark, and also the cost per pound. I use a RecTeq RT700.

Editing a comment

The pig, 34 pounds and 31" long, the smoker (RT700 is 36"). Pig was purchased at COSTCO Commercial. Body was cleaned, injected and seasoned. Smoked at 225 for 1 hour, then cover ears and snout with foil. Second hour oiled the skin with bacon grease. RecTeq temp probes in Butt and Ham. At 165 raised cook temp to 250. Total cook time was 9 hours or so, pulled pig at 199 and let it rest and continue to over 200. All meat was extremely tender, juicy, and delicious. Looked great on the table.
