    First Time for pulled pork

    I'm having a number of freinds over this Sunday for BBQ. One of the items on the list will be pulled pork.( in addition to pork ribs, both styles of beef ribs, and brisket). Only problem is, I have never done pork shoulder before, or pulled pork. I'll be brave and dive in the deep end. Good news is I have amazing ribs cooking guide for pulled pork avaible to me. Between that and my Cookshack FEC100, I don't think I can screw it up too badly. Pray for me and my guests,lol.

      Just make sure you have some time built in for the dreaded "stall". That got me on my first time. Other than that, if you've done your homework here, you're golden.

        You mentioned brisket, but not that it was a problem, if you can cook brisket then you're good.

            I've been smoking and grilling for years. Never heard the term, the stall, until a few months ago, from reading both here and Aaron Franklins book. I also never owned a temp probe before that time. There's a lot I didn't know or do until recently. Now that I have seen the light, I don't feel as intimidated, and that I actually know what I'm doing, and why. i really havnt thought much about pulled pork until some recent reads online, now I can't wait.

              Yup, you might not get any, its that good. But you'll be snacking as you pull it.
              As mentioned, give yourself time along with the brisket & you'll do fine.

              With an FEC 100 ( I'm jealous) you should have some awesome pulled pork. Just use MH's recipe and give yourself plenty of time.

            • We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

            DeusDingo gave you GREAT advice.......start the PB MUCH earlier than you think you need to! Don't forget to leave extra time to cambro. I didn't cambro at first, but boy, what a difference it makes!

              If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

              slow n sear
              The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

              The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

              the good one grill
              The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

              Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

              Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
              The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

              The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.
